Aggresive Logo?

Uhm, the title doesn't reall say much but here in Sweden (Where I live) all Swedish channels are using a logo (To-right on screen). It's always hidden during commercials and trailers (Trailers might have the logo, but it's usually positioned in a different way etc). The logo disappears about 1 sec before the commercial etc.

Just out of interest; Is there any way to have Comskip to only process commerials by going aggressively (Spelling) by the logo?

Yes,

Two elements to consider.
- Where to cut.
Do you need more cutpoints?
Setting these to x (non zero) will seek for cutpoints (silence) starting x seconds before/after the logo appeared/disapeared
before_logo=0
after_logo=0

- Score differently
Set all these modifier to 1
length_strict_modifier=3
length_nonstrict_modifier=1.5
combined_length_strict_modifier=2
combined_length_nonstrict_modifier=1.25
ar_wrong_modifier=10
excessive_length_modifier=0.01
dark_block_modifier=0.3
min_schange_modifier=0.5
max_schange_modifier=2
except this one:
logo_present_modifier=0.01

Does this work?

This is actually working really good on the shorter recorded episodes which I've had problems getting a good ComSkip result on. ;)

I'm gonna try it on some movie aswell to see what it does.
