Yes is my understanding, hence tools like reclock.

v.50 has a tendancy to crash at the end of processing a mpeg.  Jere-Jones has released v.51 which is more stable.

Please update to that if you want to continue testing with it.

And (sadly enough) v.51 had the tendency to crash at the end also. The problem was positively identified and fixed in v.52 which can be gotten here or the absolute bleeding edge version can always be gotten on the sage-community.org website. Go to browse source and look for the jeredev branch or here's a deep link.

As always, if you find any problems, please let me know.

Has anyone started to tweak the ini to improve the detection with v.52? I have run v.52 on 3 shows 2 of them it did a great job on (SG1 and The West Wing). The 3rd it did not detect anything (Scrubs), so I am going to try to change the logo_threshold. Has anyone else made other changes besides the framerate?

I will let you know what I find.

I ran it on Judging Amy lasy night and it worked fine. I have made two changes to the ini file but they had nothing to do with the detection parameters. The changes I made were to tell it to delete the logo file and the chop file, that way GB-PVR will delete the entire directory when it deletes the mpg file.

I've posted v0.60 here.

It fixes the crashes that I've had reported to me and adds closed captioning as an information source.  This is probably one of the biggest advances in comskip in a long time.

I hope y'all enjoy.

Jere, you are a legend!

I ran 60.0 through a selection of tv shows and movies and...

I cannot fault it! Flawless!

I AM IN COMMERCIAL FREE HEAVEN!!!

Thanks!

Jere,

Great work! I plan on testing the new release out today if work is slow.

Krypton_john,

Do you have closed captioning enabled in your recordings?


I am considering turning it on to get the benefit of the new detection algorithm.

Just to save everyone from redoing my research

You have to change one setting the direct.ini file. Open direct.ini in a text editor and to each recording quality section (including live TV) add OutputType=14

Sorry for a maybe dumb question, but could someone point me to some instructions regarding how this works?
