Help finetuning

Post by linfor »

I tape a lot of spanish shows and I have 3 problems.
On one from a particular channel - tvchile I cannot get it to detect any commercials no matter what I do.

On the others there is a little blurb before and after the commercials. I cannot seem to ge it to remove the one before the commercials probably because it has a logo.. Some help fixing this would be appreciated.

Last problem - on other shows the program seems to always add 5 frames before where each cut actually starts and 3 at the end where it should stop. How do I fix that?

linfor,

Did you use debugwindow to see whats happening?
Or did you set verbose=10 and looked in the log file to check if certain cutpoints are wrongfully discarded?

I can imagine that some of this is too difficult
There is a simple procedure that is used by the beta testers.

Set output_framearray=1 and verbose=10
run comskip
copy the generated .txt to a file with the same name but the extension .ref.
edit the .ref file to have the correct frame numbers of where you would like the commercials cuts to be.
Zip up the ini,.csv, .log, .txt and .ref and mail them to me. i can receive mails up to 10 megabyte and the zip file should be about 2 mbyte for a 1 hour recording
This helps me in analyzing the problems you see and to improve comskip.
If you do this I will also advice you on how to tune the parameters
Its like a personal coach :-)
