Commercial Detection

[reven]

thats true, would it be possible to make it the no name button ob the hauppauge remote and a different button on a different remote? (like im sure theres a button or two on the mce remote which has no use in gbpvr at the moment) or would this be a really stupid idea, programming side?  

i thought the full button switched to fullscreen mode, if not whats the one do?

My hope is, that the unused button one day will be used for to invoke functionality like control of brighness, contrast hue etc. :-). Play is really useless while you play, so you waste no other button if you use it for comskip.

Good that you kept skip as skip, Sub. As you said comskip can fail. And then you might want to skip without wanting to head to the next comskip-slice (I set skip to 5 minutes). It's good to keep skip and comskip apart.

I might've missed this along the way but does anyone know why I'm getting comskip running on only the last file in a string of back-to-back recordings? I have the latest versions of both GB-PVR and comskip. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I got comskip working, And it works great, sometimes it is a couple of secounds of, but that's no big problem. I live in Sweden there we have PAL but I use 29.97 NTSC and it works as well. Is this strange or I am lucky??

Hi,
Finally had success with comskip (v.0.6). It used to only detect one or two commercial breaks in a movie. But apparantly the breaks are shorter (but more often) in the US than in the Netherlands. Now I've changed the maximum commercial break duration from 305 to 505 seconds it gets them all, it appears.

So, thanks!

And for the skip function, wouldn't it be nice to just push skip twice to skip to the next commercial start/stop? It makes sense in my opinion...

Except that if it was set up this way and you had the skip button set to skip ahead by 1 minute and wanted to skip two minutes ahead in a recording, you wouldn't be able to push the skip button twice to do that.

yeah push twice i think is a bad idea, theres enough unused buttons which could be used

What would be good is if something came up on the OSD when it gets to a commercial it has detected saying 'Commercial detected, Press Play to skip' and then you press play. I say this because it sometimes does not get all the commercials and I've tried to skip ones it did not detect and thought something was going wrong. It would be good if it let you know when you can do the skip. This also means I wont watch half of the commercials before remebering I can skip them.

What do people think?
