[mythtv-users] Commercial Flagging (UK, DVB-T)

[Gareth Glaccum]

To be honest, I can't find the option at the moment. I did not make any mods
to the wrapper script, it would have probably been through one of the setup
pages (but at the time I did also make some direct changes to the database,
for things such as automatic sleep on a frontend if it hadn't been used for
X hours, a useful but hidden variable). 
Looking through the database, there is a value of 3600 seconds for 

MaximumCommercialSkip

 
Other values..
 
 
JobQueueCommFlagCommand

AggressiveCommDetect

AutoCommercialFlag

AutoCommflagWhileRecording
(although it does work, but I rarely use catch-up, so it isn't worth the
cycles for me)

AutoTranscodeBeforeAutoCommflag

CommercialSkipMethod

CommSkipAllBlanks
 
Hope it helps, not having adverts is very good.

Sorry, I was wrong, I did change one variable...... maximum advert length. I
up-ed it to 6 minutes. On 5 for instance (yes, the channels you guessed were
correct), in CSI most of the adverts are 4 minutes 13 seconds exactly in
length. This is longer than the default advert length. What I guess is that
most of the devs might be American, where they tend to get much more
frequent adverts, but shorter lengths. 
 
 
Garreth,

Thanks for the reply. I'm a touch confused still though.

Are you talking about the default  mythcommflag working ? OR are you talking
about the mythcommflag-wrapper script working for you ?

If the default mythcommflag, where do you set maximum advert length ?

thanks again.
