Comskip in Linux (ubuntu server) v9

[ex-tivoman]

I am glad I waited out the long period between v7 and 9. I expected one day to find nothing worked anymore - and now there is new life!

Anyway, I have moved from a v7 WHS server backend to v9 Linux server and use a combination of sageclient and extenders. With the WHS system I went to "setup-->plugins-->commecial detector" and it installed without a hitch. Can somebody point me to how to setup commecialdetector/comskip for the linux v9 setup?




Setup: ESXI 6.0 setup with (Ubuntu 14.04 server, sagetv9 server, FREENAS NFS raid storage) Extender 300, Extender 200, SageClient.

it requires WINE to run. I have the latest WINE + latest donator Comskip files, and it works fine.

I'll look around for a guide, but it's pretty easy if you are comfortable around linux.

Yeah, and for it to work properly I had to install a null display device. Otherwise it can crash if it doesn't see that X has a display available.
