comskip navigation

Post by cocoa117 »

Hi, I have generated csv file and going through it for better commercial manual selection. However I can't get through the to the whole show, it only let me to frame 98925. I have tried different shows, and it all have similar results. I think I am missing something to go through entire show?

Can you click on the timebar to reposition?
Do the page up/down keys work?

Yes, I can click on the time bar to reposition. But this is only within the 98627 frame I talked about. It is not entire show.

Once again, the page up and down key do work, but only within those 98627 frame

I remembered once I manage to jump to later part of show, and never able to get back. Now I can only go through the beginning of the show, but can't see the rest. It must be something simple. Damn...

How log (in minutes) is the movie?
What is the fps?

contents is 1:05:58 long

From VLC, it shows Frame rate:50, using h264 codec

I don't know the expected frame count. I was looking at the contents, it doesn't really show the TVshow.

enn, it might have to do with zoom in and zoom out. Erick, if I do full zoom out, does page up and page down only go through the commercial not the entire contents?

should go through the complete recording.
At the end of the log file (set verbose=10 in comskip.ini) you will find how many frames in the recording.

assuming 25fps (or 50 interleaved) that makes 97500 frames.

Do you see this for all recordings or only one?

I found it, it is "98926 Frames Processed". So it should be entire show.

I have seen this for large number of my shows. I think it have to do with MPEG-TS recording.

The problem I have found now is this.
(1) Using left, up and down to find the commercial before actual show contents
(2) do zoom in with z
(3) using left key to go through each frame of actual show
(4) now, zoom out with u
(5) the frame rate does NOT match what actually should be displayed. E.g. frame 1-1000 should be commercials, but it is still displaying the actual show contents which should be in frame 17283-18000 for example.

I think that's why I was confused.

Eric any ideas?
