way to tell outcome in script?

Post by jriker1 »

I've noticed, and maybe the nature of the algorithms, but I find frequently comskip will find nothing or very little to remove from a show. Now it's the wrong answer, but trying to figure out how to detect these situations. In DOS, is there a way to pull out the amount of commercials or length of commercials extracted when it creates it's commercial list to determine if it should try again or not? I find if I see an hour show still shows an hour, if I manually run comskip on it again it has a different outcome so thinking to automate that.

Thanks.

Better ensure comskip does not run during recording as that is most probably the reason why it fails first time
