No Ads Detected, Could Not Open Video Codec

Post by Taddeusz »

Updated to the latest version last night. Am now getting .log files that simply just say "Could not open video codec" and now ads are not being detected. I'm doing live detection with SageTV recordings.

I also noticed that the logo files are not being deleted.

Seems to work fine if I run it manually outside SageTV.

make sure there is a 10 minutes delay after the start of the recording before comskip is started

The Commercial Detector plug-in for SageTV. It doesn't have a delay option. Just a live option.

I don't believe I've had a problem with this till last night.

The standoff option is currently set at 8000000.

If it suddenly appeared then some broadcast must have changed

This morning I did a live test again. Same result. Downgraded back to 0.81.076 and the issue has gone away. Did a live test again and it ran for over an hour without issue.
