I recently updated to the latest version of GBPVR and enabled the auto commercial skip. I've found that, in most cases, the Comskip cuts off about 3 seconds before it should to skip the commercial. It then skips to the exact point that it should. When I skipped manually, it wasn't a problem since I wouldn't hit the play button until after the commercial started.
Is there some setting that I can change to keep that 3 seconds?
PS:I'm in the USA and am a computer idiot.
Thanks in advance.
cutting too early
Do you use use comskip to skip on live TV?
If not there are two things you can do.
1)
Set in your comskip.ini file
padding=3
This will force comskip to reduce the start and advance the end of the commercial with 3 seconds, so you solve one problem and generate another.
2)
Set in you comskip ini file
output_framearray=1
verbose=10
run comskip, can be on a regular recording so no need to do it by hand.
For a recording where the commercials skip point is detected 3 too late
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. If this is too difficult add some text in the mail describing which commercial should start earlier with about how much time.
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
