Re: Limit "uniform color" detetion to a portion of the scene

I thought only logos during the show could be used. I could use the background on the right or left side of the screen, as a logo, during commercial as the commercials aren't scaled but windowed. But, as I understand it, comskip would then harvest out the shows and leave the commercials. Is there an...

Re: Limit "uniform color" detetion to a portion of the scene

Thanks Erik for your response. This program changed it's format last week to make it even more difficult to comskip. It use to have a static banner only during the show. Can you suggest any other possibilities for me to explore, to detect the show in it's new format per the sample? I tried out my id...

Re: Limit "uniform color" detetion to a portion of the scene

Sure. Below is a link of a 5 min commercial with a minute of show before and after. I would like to target the light grey rectangle with black text as the top banner by limiting the portion of the scene by cropping the 720p by 540px-top, 300px-l/r, & 97px-btm. Re: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m77la...

Limit "uniform color" detetion to a portion of the scene

A static logo is present during show and commercial so can't use logo detection. However, there is a portion of the scene that changes very little during "show" but changes a lot during a "commercial". So is there a way to limit detection of a "uniform color" change to ...

Re: Logo based comskip

This is the closest I've got, a 1 hr shrinks to a range from 41 to 50 minutes. The lower meaning almost none or no commercials. detect_method=67 validate_silence=1 validate_uniform=1 validate_scenechange=1 verbose=0 max_brightness=60 test_brightness=40 max_avg_brightness=25 max_commercialbreak=600 m...

Re: Logo based comskip

Of course I've read that file. What in it was I supposed to glean that would tell me how to make a "logo only" comm cut work? According to the file I should be able to use the comskip.ini that came with the install zip and change to detect_method=2. However that doesn't work. Always leaves...

Re: Logo based comskip

I might read it if you told me where it is. Searching this site, only your post comes up with that filename. Didn't come in the download of comskip either. I'm not buying your claim it can be made unconditional or you would have provided an example .ini or other documentation. Neither has anyone els...

Re: Logo based comskip

I didn't think anyone could answer this. Why? Because Comskip CAN'T remove commercials on "only logos" even when set to detect_method=2. It only creates a cutpoint and needs, at a minimum, a black frame before it will designate a start/end cutpoint as a commercial block. Quite a shortcomin...

Re: option to only cut on logo + black frame?

That's because setting before/after_logo=0 doesn't disable logo cutting. I have much documentation showing that it does still cut and that the remark is accurate that it is to "set to number of seconds after logo disappears/disappears".

Re: Skip using logo only: not working

@eelioss could you provide your .ini file? I can't get my "logo only" commercial cuts to work. Thanx.

Re: Logo based comskip

shrink_logo is already default 5. So I don't see how increasing it will help create a cut point at the disappearance of a logo because there is no black scene just before the logo disappearance, at least not within 5 to 0 seconds of the disappearance. Why isn't there an ini setting the enable a cut ...

Re: Logo based comskip

Says; use_existing_logo_file=1 ; Use logo file already created at beginning of show, default 0 I want to use a logo file already created by a "different" show. The one already created by the "same" show is no good. I'll try shrinking the logo to see if it helps issue #2 & rep...

Logo based comskip

Background; I'm using method 67 to detect a few shows on the same channel having the same show logo, resolution, aspect ratio. However, about 1 in 5 show recordings don't detect enough of the logo to delete commercials. When I copy a logo.txt file i.e. titleA_date.logo.txt after a successful comskip...

Re: Commercials and shows inverted

After a few hours of trial & error I finally figured out that detect_method=2 requires before_logo>0 and after_logo>0 to not invert the commercials & shows. Working quite well. Sure coulda used a hint tho.

Commercials and shows inverted

Video has a small static logo, in lower 1/2, always present during the show. When I use default detect_method=43 the cutpoints are accurate but the aspect, resolution, or uniform color creates EDL skips in the wrong places. So I tried detect_method=2 but then the commercials are played and the show ...
