[QUOTE="and-81, post: 158364, member: 11844"] The Comskip support is a work in progress that is on hold due to the current feature freeze. Heres what it does so far: There's a plugin for TVE2 and for TVE3 that will run comskip after a recording (or during for TVE3) to create the Commercial timing file (.txt). When playing back a recorded video file in the mediaportal front end if it has a corresponding .txt file then MediaPortal will load the chapter points and activate two context menu items (Next and Previous Chapter) which can be used to skip past commercials. You can set up a remote button or keyboard shortcut to activate these too. What it doesn't do (yet): Automatic commercial skipping has been implemented and works 100% on my local copy. But due to the feature freeze it is not in. When the feature freeze is over I will make it configurable (you will either select manual or automatic commercial skipping). Timeline highlighting of commercial breaks. Goes without saying, this would be nice to have. Haven't figured out how yet, but I haven't done any real gui programming in mediaportal yet so I'm still learning. Won't be difficult I'm sure. Realtime skipping inside timeshift. I havn't even attempted this yet, but i think it will be possible. By piping the output of Comskip into the Tv Server plugin we should be able to stream the timeshift buffer with commercial positions embeded (somehow). This is a low priority however. Before I can do realtime skipping in TVE3, I need to figure out how to stream the commercial positions over the tv server protocols, so that's gunna take a bit of mucking around. But should be doable. So, give it a try, see how you go, and keep your eyes peeled for more developments in this area after the 0.2.3.0 goes final. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
