How do I use comskip - martincjose - 2025-11-08

I have Jellyfin 10.10.7 installed on Windows10 and it's connected to my HDHomeRun Extend.  Everything is working great and I am able to schedule and record shows.  Now I have started playing with comskip so I can skip ad's .  I want to skip (either skip or ask to skip) and I don't want to reencode and remove ads (not yet anyway).  I setup comskip and setup the DVR section with the path to comskip.  I set a test test recording and I can see the EDL file (with the ad times) in the recording folder.  Now I want to have the player (web, Jellyfin Media Player on Win10 or Firestick) skip the ad but it's not skipping anything.  On the player I click on the user icon, Playback, and set Commercial Segments to Skip/Ask To Skip but nothing is skipped or asked to skip when I play the recording.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks
