Comskip not detecting commercials

[autumnmist]

It used to work and then I upgraded yesterday to v79.30. I am using the default comskip.ini file, but it's not detecting commercials in a file I know there are commercials in. I tried running it both automatically via GBPVR and manually through commandline.

Here's my .ini file:

Code:

detect_method=43            ;1=black frame, 2=logo, 4=scene change, 8=fuzzy logic, 16=closed captions, 32=aspect ration, 64=silence, 255=all
verbose=10                ;show a lot of extra info, level 5 is also OK, set to 0 to disable
max_brightness=60                  ;frame not black if any pixels checked are greater than this (scale 0 to 255)
test_brightness=40              ;frame not pure black if any pixels checked are greater than this, will check average brightness (scale 0 to 255)
max_avg_brightness=25            ;maximum average brightness for a dim frame to be considered black (scale 0 to 255) 0 means autosetting
max_commercialbreak=600         ;maximum length in seconds to consider a segment a commercial break
min_commercialbreak=10            ;minimum length in seconds to consider a segment a commercial break
max_commercial_size=120            ;maximum time in seconds for a single commercial or multiple commercials if no breaks in between
min_commercial_size=4           ;mimimum time in seconds for a single commercial
min_show_segment_length=120     ; any segment longer than this will be scored towards show.
non_uniformity=500
max_volume=500                ; any frame with sound volume larger than this will not be regarded as black frame
min_silence=20                ; Any deep silence longer than this amount  of frames is a possible cutpoint
ticker_tape=0                ; Amount of pixels from bottom to ignore in all processing
punish=0                    ; Compare to average for sum of 1=brightness, 2=uniform 4=volume, 8=silence, 16=schange, set to 0 to disable
punish_threshold=1.3        ; Multiply when amount is above average * punish_threshold
punish_modifier=2            ; When above average * threshold multiply score by this value
intelligent_brightness=0         ; Set to 1 to use a USA specific algorithm to tune some of the settings, not adviced outside the USA
logo_percentile=0.92            ; if more then this amount of logo is found then logo detection will be disabled
logo_threshold=0.80
aggressive_logo_rejection=0
connect_blocks_with_logo=1        ; set to 1 if you want successive blocks with logo on the transition to be regarded as connected, set to 0 to disable
cut_on_ar_change=0            ; set to 1 if you want to cut also on aspect ratio changes, set to 0 to disable
delete_show_after_last_commercial=0    ; set to 1 if you want to delete the last block if its a show and after a commercial
delete_show_before_or_after_current=0    ; set to 1 if you want to delete the previous and the next show in the recording, this can lead to the deletion of trailers of next show
shrink_logo=5                ; Reduce the duration of the logo with this amount of seconds
after_logo=0        ; set to number of seconds after logo disappears comskip should start to search for silence to insert an additional cutpoint
padding=0
delete_logo_file=0            ; set to 1 if you want comskip to tidy up after finishing
output_framearray=0            ; create a big excel file for detailed analysis, set to 0 to disable
output_videoredo=0
output_womble=0
output_cuttermaran=0
output_mpeg2schnitt=0
output_mpgtx=0
output_zoomplayer_chapter=0
output_zoomplayer_cutlist=0
output_edl=0
output_vcf=0
live_tv=0                    ; set to 1 if you use parallelprocessing and need the output while recording
cuttermaran_options="cut=\"true\" unattended=\"true\" muxResult=\"false\" snapToCutPoints=\"true\" closeApp=\"true\""
mpeg2schnitt_options="mpeg2schnitt.exe /S /E /R25  /Z %2 %1"

Can you try a previous version?
If that works, tell me
Otherwise, could you set verbose=10 and send me the log file made with build 30?

[autumnmist]

Thanks so much for your help.

Ok, just tried 79.27 and still nothing.

I'm emailng you the log file for build 30.

So its probably the recording.

Did you try other recordings?

If you want more help follow this procedure

I checked the file you did send.
Comskip learned the wrong logo and the recording was too short to recover so the real logo spoiled the black frame detection.
Try a longer recording (60 minutes)
