I just created a new one in mythtv-setup and it put the slash on the end even though I didn't type it in. It could be that they are meant to have slashes at the end, a bit odd but won't kill anything.

Funnily enough the same thought just occurred to me as this email came in. My storage groups don't have a slash at the end. I'm using a default mythbuntu install, so I didn't create them myself. So it's more likely a mythbuntu bug than an mythtv bug then I guess? When I get a slack minute I'll report it to the mythbuntu guys. I'm loath to change my storage groups now because who knows what else it might break? :)

BTW once I'd made that change, your script ran and detected commercials successfully on two recordings. The CPU usage on my atom/ION backend was still too high to do flagging during recording (not that I actually tried it, but flagging an existing recording I watched 'top' while it ran and the CPU was maxed.) It's quicker than the mythcommflag_wrapper script but uses more CPU, which is not what I was expecting and I don't think it's what you were expecting either :) Must be something odd going on there. I'll keep investigating.

Cheers,

Mark
