[QUOTE="jshan, post: 18412, member: 14029"] I think the "semi-automatic" would be very cool. I was thinking about this and came up with some thoughts before I saw this thread. I thought I'd jot down some ideas in case it helps codemonkey. - a plugin that had a configurable start and end time, during which comskip would run it's analysis. That way, the processing takes place during non-live-viewing time. Maybe even have a dialog that comes up for a while, telling any night owl viewer that comskip is about to kick off, thereby allowing the potential viewer to skip comskip analysis for that night. - the plugin would fire off comskip for any videos that don't already have an associated comskip text file. - so that we don't get dangling comskip text files for deleted videos, the plugin could also check for any text files that don't have an associated video, and if found, delete them. - then, during playback by the user, if the user hits a "magic" key on the remote, if the playback is in a "valid" commercial area, then the area is skipped and playback is resumed. A calming positive tone could be played indicating success. If we're not in a "valid" commercial area (i.e. comskip missed it), a negative tone could be played, and the video could go into fast forward so that the user could manually skip the commercial area. - future integration into MP could include bands of a different color on the timeline of the OSD, visually indicating the commercial areas (yes, I own and use a commercial s/w product). - could even have another plugin that creates a copy of the video that cuts out the commercial areas, for those that have 100% confidence in comskip. I'm less inclined to use the "automatic" comskip mode, because my VCR has this feature, and it's really annoying when it kicks in to fast forward to skip over some commercials that aren't commercials. I'm sure all this has already been thought of, but I thought I'd at least express my interest in this feature. Regards, John [/QUOTE]
