Remove commercials ? (2 Viewers)

[ipguy]

Hi all

Can MP remove commercial from recorded tv without user intervention ?

Like lifextender used to do for MC ?

Hi ipguy

Officially the answer is NO, unless viewed via my video's, where you then get no epg details.

Personally using a singleseat setup running MP1.1.3 + ForTheRecord1.52 + comskip all worked fine.

Since changed to 1.2beta + FTR1.6, there seems to be a initialisation problem from recorded tv, it seems to not skip commercials at beiginning on its own, however once I use the first skip key on remote then there is no further interaction needed, all the following commercials are jumped over as it should be.

I have comskip run after the recording has finished, seems to be more accurate for me.

Check out the wiki for any other info you may need.

Regards

Hi Ray, have you tweaked an ini for comskip? I have tried it but always found it unreliable on anything other than channel 5.

Running comskip version 80.41, seems to be working fine, used to have some problems if you ran at same time as recording.

 

[mkjustuk]

Great, just with the standard .ini that comes with it?

If your having problems, I do have one from MCEBuddy that gave good results, I'll upload that here, just got to find which external drive its on

 

[mkjustuk]

Yes please, as I've just installed the latest version and it's still quite inaccurate with ITV1 with no tuning of the ini.

Hi mkjustuk

As promised here are the modified config files for comskip, just overwrite the existing ones in the comskip folder.

Before with new ITV1 serial Scott & Bailly

BTW just drop existing recorded file onto comskip.exe to get new skip file created, only if you want to of course.

Fab, thanks will try it over the weekend.

I'm using comskip and it works well - mostly, if the logo can be detected.
