Fantastic!
Can anyone recommend Linux PVR software that is similar to Windows Media Center and is good for recording live TV?

After Microsoft broke my Win 7 PVR by updating it with a telemetry "fix" I didn't ask for last night, I'm thinking its time to move towards ditching Microsoft altogether. I like Windows Media Center but I don't want to waste days at a time rebuilding it when their desperation to track ever...

Release done, can you test. I also added some error messages for wrong string parameters and cutscenefiles not found I've tested it on the file that I uploaded to you, and the next in the series and it has fixed the problem, the results of both a full scan and a csv scan differ by no more than 4 fr...

I'll give it a test tomorrow, I worked around it by adding 2 secs to shrink logo. Fortunately using a pre found logo gave me 2 threads for the full single pass scan, so I tested everything with a normal scan

"c:\\path\\to\\filename"

Thanks, that fixed it - sometimes its the simple stuff that's missed!

I'm trying to get cutscenes to work and no matter how I write it into my ini file it doesn't show up as enabled in the log. In TVChannel.ini I have cutscene_threshold=50 cutscenefile1=C:\\tv\\MyDumpFrame.dmp cutscenefile2="" cutscenefile3="" cutscenefile4="" cutscenefil...

Thanks!

Glad you can reproduce it.
Whilst I was waiting for the upload to finish I tested dropping it down to 1 thread in case that was the cause but it made no difference.

I just sent you a PM with the links in.
Its the break between frames 57264 & 59745 that is missing when scanned with the full file. The actual end of the commercial is at 59890 but as there isn't any black frames I haven't found a way to trigger it at that frame.

Sure, I'll upload it in a couple of hours or so, assuming you will get chance to take a look later today? Otherwise is in about 12 hours ok?

I've discovered that I get different results using the Frame Array file compared to scanning the file directly with no changes to comskip.ini What are the differences between the 2 modes apart from speed? As I'm using a pre found logo the full file scan uses 2 threads and the file is SD H264 / AAC-HE

Thanks!

This is repeatable behaviour, it seems to drop to 1 thread on the second pass and uses 2 on the first. If I start it with a saved logo it starts on 2 threads and stays that way. Are there possibly 2 bugs here? Bug 1 - Doesn't use more than 2 threads on some H264 files Bug 2 - Doesn't use more than 1...

I'm trying to work out what has caused the line Negative Volume cutpoint at 19590, commercial too long the block is smaller than max_commercialsize, and the combined blocks forming the commercial are below max_commercialbreak The settings are max_commercialbreak=430 min_commercialbreak=30 max_commer...

OK, Is it relevant that it uses 2 threads in the logo finding phase and just one in the final phase?
