Comskip Support Forum

The preliminary results have been just as accurate for me as the end results....you might as well enable the live results maybe they'll as good for you as they are for me.

I'd be happy to test it out on my wtv's.

I use a lot comskip with livetv. In a first stage it will be ok without support of it, but it will be great if it will be supported in a future... If you want, I can make some tests of livetv support in different beta versions. I agree. Any WTV decoding (even if not live) would be welcome. However,...

I assume the pipe transfers data just in memory instead of writing to disk.

I'm running a file through ffmpeg first and would like to pipe that output right into comskip, instead of writing to disk and then calling comskip. I'd like to avoid the disk-writing overhead if possible.

Thanks,
Tony

It would be great if comskip had an option to read from a pipe. I guess you'd also need a switch to let comskip know the format since it wouldn't have a file extention to work from.

Hi Erik, thanks for trying so quickly. Here is a WTV that I was able to demux (1 minute USA clear QAM mpeg2): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AJ82V1ZO I used the static binary from Jan 17: http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/autobuilds/ffmpeg/mingw32/static/ffmpeg-r26400-swscale-r32676-mingw32-static.7z Here wa...

I saw an earlier post where you state WTV support would have to wait until someone reverse engineered WTV. The latest FFmpeg (http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/autobuilds/) can demux WTV! From the changelog: - Windows Televison (WTV) demuxer I tried it and it was able to extract the audio and video streams...
