commercial detection on RTL HD Germany

Post by jpk »

Hi,

I just started with Comskip. Thanks for your great effort on this!

While playing around with recordings on RTL HD I noticed that the detection is not working as expected. What happens is:

The show runs. When the commercial starts the logo disappears but there seems to be no black frame. After 20-30 seconds there seems to be the first black frame and a block of commercials is detected. So I tried to tweak this with

after_logo=2

in order to force a black frame whenever the logo disappears. I can see

Code: Select all

Start logo cblock 15	frame 28200
 0:21:31 - 33556 frames in 100.66 sec(333.36 fps), 1.00 sec(398.00 fps), 43%
End logo block 15	frame 32475	Length - 0:02:46.00
 0:21:51 - 34065 frames in 101.66 sec(335.09 fps), 1.00 sec(509.00 fps), 43%
				Nonlogo Length - 0:00:22.00
Start logo cblock 16	frame 33025

End logo block 16	frame 33175	Length - 0:00:01.00

Frame  34160 (1366.320s) - Black frame with brightness of 16,uniform of 0 and volume of 3569
Frame  34161 (1366.360s) - Black frame with brightness of 16,uniform of 0 and volume of -1
With 32475 being the frame where the logo disappears at the beginning of the commercial. I cannot see that a black frame is created however.

Code: Select all

Logo start -  27450	end -  27525	length - 0:00:03.00	before:865.3 s	 after:232.1 s
Logo start -  28325	end -  32475	length - 0:02:46.00	before:900.3 s	 after:34.1 s
Logo start -  33150	end -  33175	length - 0:00:01.00	before:1093.3 s	 after:6.1 s
Logo start -  42025	end -  42475	length - 0:00:18.00	before:5.8 s	 after:255.8 s
Logo start -  42775	end -  43150	length - 0:00:15.00	before:35.8 s	 after:228.8 s

Code: Select all

Later:

Block 0 has logo.
Block 0 score:	Before - 1.00	After - 0.01
Block 0 has twice excess length.

and

What can I do to teach Comskip to recognize the logo disappearing in frame 32475? Is there any way to detect these kind of commercials?
