Comskip Setup for Linux

This will install comskip, mkvpropedit, ffmpeg, and PlexComskip.py

• Install Comskip following the Instrutions shown here: https://github.com/erikkaashoek/Comskip

  Pro Tip use `./configure --enable-dontator` and then make a donation to http://www.kaashoek.com/comskip/
  

• Install mkvtoolnix, which include mkvpropedit here: https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html#ubuntu this is for setting the audio language to English from Unknown

• Clone the PlexComskip repo: https://github.com/ekim1337/PlexComskip.git

• Copy PlexComskip.conf.example to PlexComskip.conf and edit as necessary (defaults should be pretty good)

• create a dvr.sh (or whatever you want to call it) file to include

    #!/bin/sh
  
    /usr/bin/mkvpropedit "$1" --edit track:a1 --set language=eng --edit track:v1 --set language=eng
    
    sleep 10
    
    /usr/bin/python /path/to/PlexComskip.py "$1"
  

I had the same issue. I was able to run by cli successfully as well, except my ffmpeg (Ubuntu 16.04) install had a different ffmpeg binary path:
PlexComskip.conf default path:
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
PlexComskip.conf my Ubuntu path:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg

Thanks hthighway and would you know why the script won't run in Plex? Cheers!
