3 second show block in the middle of commercials

Post by nate »

Hi erik,

I've come across a file where comskip is leaving a 3.28 second show block with a score of 1.00 in the middle of commercials. I don't have any heuristics disabled so I thought it would normally have been removed?

I can see that it's combining blocks 12 and 13 totaling 41.28 seconds, but not block 14 which would total 44.56 .

Code: Select all

Block 12 has strict standard length for a commercial.
Block 12 score:	Before - 1.00	After - 3.00
Combining Blocks 12 thru 13 result in non-strict standard commercial length of 41.28 with a tolerance of 2.240000.
Block 13 score:	Before - 1.00	After - 1.31	Combined count - 1
Block 12 score:	Before - 3.00	After - 3.94	Combined count - 1
Block 15 has strict standard length for a commercial.

Is there a setting I can tweak to fix this? min_commercial_size is 4 but I've tried it with 0 with no difference.
This is using 0.81.018 but I've also tested with 0.80.042 and it's the same.

It looks like this issue has been fixed. I have just re-tested the samples with 0.81.049 and it doesn't happen anymore.
