Comskip Support Forum

My mingw build environment had to be updated to get the latest video decoders
As a side effect mingw introduced a compatibility problem with win7 and win8
This is something I can not solve.
you will have to wait till mingw solves the problem
Sorry......

Detecting commercials in audio only is very different from also having video and as comskip always requires at least video I am afraid I can not be of any assistance.

I provide support to everyone that asks for help, regardless of their donation. I never check if someone did donate before answering questions.

When you have a single 5 minute commercial you may need to tune some setting.
Please follow the "how to ask for help" post if you want me to help you tuning Comskip

Or start COmskipGUI.exe with the path to the recording as a parameter
Both actions will start a command window and after some seconds the video window will appear

I do not know.
They may use shared libraries instead of static linkage
The tool chain problem started with build 007.

The problem is in a combination of static linking an dynamic linking with conflicting references. This can not be solved by a user. I have to wait till the toolchain I use is fixed.

For commercials such as this long commercial you have to set
min_show_segment_length=350
