Commercial Detection

[reven]

this is more of a wish than anything, but sub could you make skipping a commerical just a one button function (well two including the blue) like blue then just skip not 0-skip, or a color button or something, those buttons are just far away and seems unnatural to use them together. maybe "the button with no name"

Heh! Amen to that!

On my X10 remote 0-skip has my hand playing twister.

There's some spare keys available so I'll probably just reprogram the girder to send the <0>,<ctrl>(right/left> combo off one button.

I'd add my vote to a one key solution for skipping to end of comercial. Can we just have one of the colour buttons to do it maybe.

Thanks

Ditto!

maybe use Play to skip? I assume the coloured buttons would soon be needed for plugins that are showing things on the screen.

Using play is a *very* good idea if a logic can be found to distinguish when play means play and when comskip.
My vote for that!!

Comskip detects most of my commericals. I tried (for a few minutes) to enable the CC on my 250 so I can use that kind of detection. I dont think it is working, but the stock comskip works fairly well. I have seen it detect 2 commercial segments with a small gap in between where the logo logic failed and it thought it went back to the show for 200 frames. I suggested to jerejones that he add an ini value for the min show length between two commercials. I can always write my own post processor that will modify the ini for me.

In the first few pre-release of this build I used the skip button by itself if the comskip file was found. Unfortunately comskip isn't perfect (and some bits of shows are boring) so I still found myself needing the skip keys. At the time I'd pretty much used all the keys.

I'll look into whether play can be used.

i vote for the button with no name, like is it used anywhere else?

[sub]

I think its used for toggling between fullscreen and windows mode when you're sitting at the menu, but I could reuse it for comskip during video playback. The only problem I see is it doesnt have a clear equivalent on the MCE remote (which I also support), or any other remote I'm likely to support in the future.
