My Show Specific INIs
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2017 4:59 am
While many shows that I record work decently well with a single general INI file, I occasionally have some issues with a few different shows. So, as I have time I have been customising a file for each show to make it work as good as it possibly can. As I come up with new INIs I will post them here. Eventually, even for shows that work "okay" with the general settings, I would like to tweak them as well. (Keep in mind all my shows are recorded USA OTA - that is, in the United States over broadcast television so if you live elsewhere or have cable/satellite, this may or may not work well for you. Should you use any of these, please let me know how they work for you!)
Here is a list of the shows for which I currently have custom INIs:
FOX
"The Mick"
My "General" INI (the starting point for all other customs) - 01-FEB-2017
"The Mick" (FOX) - 01-FEB-2017

max_brightness=60 ;frame not black if any pixels checked are greater than this (scale 0 to 255)
test_brightness=40 ;frame not pure black if any pixels checked are greater than this, will check average brightness (scale 0 to 255)

min_commercial_size=4 ;mimimum time in seconds for a single commercial
non_uniformity=250 ; Set to 0 to disable cutpoints based on uniform frames
max_volume=150 ; any frame with sound volume larger than this will not be regarded as black frame
min_silence=30 ; Any deep silence longer than this amount of frames is a possible cutpoint
ticker_tape=0 ; Amount of pixels from bottom to ignore in all processing

punish_threshold=2 ; Multiply when amount is above average * punish_threshold
punish_modifier=8 ; When above average * threshold multiply score by this value
intelligent_brightness=0 ; Set to 1 to use a USA specific algorithm to tune some of the settings, not adviced outside the USA
logo_percentile=0.98 ; if more then this amount of logo is found then logo detection will be disabled

connect_blocks_with_logo=1 ; set to 1 if you want successive blocks with logo on the transition to be regarded as connected, set to 0 to disable
logo_filter=0 ; set the size of the filter to apply to bad logo detection, 4 seems to be a good value.

delete_show_before_or_after_current=1 ; set to 1 if you want to delete the previous and the next show in the recording, this can lead to the deletion of trailers of next show
remove_before=0 ; amount of seconds of show to be removed before ALL commercials
remove_after=0 ; amount of seconds of show to be removed after ALL commercials
