This is an unavoidable consequence of using Wine and the windows version of 
comskip.
It's not an etv-comskip bug; you'll have to take this one up with the wine 
developers.

Launching X11 is easy to avoid by unsetting the DISPLAY environment variable 
before calling comskip: Wine can't (and won't) initialize the window system w/o 
a display to use.

I also had to substantially increase the delay in the RecordingStarted 
applescript; otherwise comskip would exit immediately because it saw only an 
empty recording.

I had a similar issue. But increasing the delay in the applescript only delays 
the start of the recording so it didn't (shouldn't) help.

The delay needs to get put into the shell script so that RecordingStarted can 
exit and start the recording. Then 60 seconds later MarkCommercials has 
something to work with.

I was actually just looking around at the best place to post this. I'm going to 
open up an issue.

Here it is: added "(sleep 60 ; " at the start and ")" after recordingID.

on RecordingStarted(recordingID)
    set cmd to "(sleep 60 ; /usr/bin/nice -n 2 '/Library/Application Support/ETVComskip/MarkCommercials.app/Contents/MacOS/MarkCommercials' --log " & recordingID & ") &> /dev/null &"
    -- display dialog cmd
    do shell script cmd
