How-To use Comskip to cut out commercials via MediaPortal - Page 17

HappyTalk · 2008-05-18, 10:03

As I posted on other thread you need to map chapter skip to 'TVfullscreen' NOT 'Fullscreen video' then it works fine for My TV|Recordings

Hi,

I followed this how-to but was only able to create those txt-files to skip commercials.

What actually didn't work was that comclear feature to cut away commercials.

Anyone got idea what's wrong?

I loaded latest files from comskip-page.

One thing i would like to point out for me this happens at least.

If i run comskip at the same time as TV recording is being done, when viewing back through recorded TV all the cuts are saved till the very end of the show, so you manually have to FF through the previous ads, real bummer as with automatically skip recording enabled there is no way you can watch the show

but if i run comskip at the end of recording, there is no such problem.

This is using comskip 79.132

ps. think my dualcore system is upto it

I'm having the problem where Comskip wont process ts file, it does the mpeg files fine (but my engine doesn't record Mpeg fine). The command I am using is

comskip -ts <filename>

the error seems to be "Video PID not found"

any ides

First time i've seen someone say this, but it does sound reasonable considering the format.

Cannot find any info about other format support, not even on the showanalyzer website.

I looked into adding H264 support to Comskip but it will be terrible slow. Both in implementation (me) and in speed (the CPU)
