Reverse Comskip

Post by Willnet »

Yes, this is a strange request I know, but has anyone been able to 'reverse' what Comskip does? Thats right, delete the programs and keep the ad breaks - Comkeep!

Any thoughts (polite), directions an/or download links would be most appreciated!

Sounds like somebody isn't interested in the super bowl, but the commercials.
Seems like using comclean somebody could rig something up only having a small program intercept and inverse whatever is telling comclean what to keep and what to remove.

It sounds easy in my head, I swear! :)

Why not just create a script to read the xml output file and 'invert' the commercial block time values... a simple matter of setting the first blocks start time to 0 and then making each sequential commercial block start time actually be the end time of the preceding block, and vice versa.

Then whatever skipping tools you are using that read the xml file will do what they normally do.

If you want to do this for just one show, simply manually edit the file...
