[mythtv-users] How well does commercial detection work?

[SpikeyGG]

All,

I'm wondering how well everyone else's commercial detection is working?  >From what I've seen it seems like it gives me the basic jist of where a commercial IS and I go in and set the breakpoints to where the commercial really starts and stops.  However, I noticed from a recent recording of American Idol the breaks get further and further apart as the program continues.  Here's what I've found:

Using default, blank frame detection.

1st commercial break
 Enter off by 25.13 seconds
 Exit off by 19.17 seconds
2nd commercial break
 Enter off by 28.62 seconds
 Exit off by 34.68 seconds
3rd commercial break
 Enter off by 49.70 seconds
 Exit off by 49.28 seconds
4th commercial break
 Enter off by 58.18 seconds
 Exit off by 91.65 seconds
5th commercial break
 Enter off by 81.06 seconds
 Exit off by 78.30 seconds

Does anyone have the commercial detection working flawlessly (or is that not possible)?

Thanks,
-Greg
