<pre wrap="">That's a whole other matter. Commercial skip is only set up to work
with MythTV recordings--not on MythVideo videos. Therefore, you'll have
to import the show into MythTV's recordings (see
contrib/myth.rebuilddatabase.pl) then run mythcommflag to rebuild the
seektable and then run mythcommflag to mark commercials ("mythcommflag
--help").

<pre wrap=""><!---->
Assuming /mnt/store is your MythTV recordings directory (RecordFilePrefix).
Yes for recordings with commflagging, no for MythVideo videos with
Internal player and without commflagging. Videos must be withing the
MythVideo directory structure to be recognized by the scanner.
Note, a link in the recordings/video directory to a file in a different
location will work for both recordings and videos...

Is the directory limitation a matter of the where the scanner runs in
the first place to do the flagging, or is it somethign that is needed
for playback? The reason I am asking is that I have hundreds of
recordings across 6 hard drives made by my ReplayTV boxes, which I am
in the process of replacing. The ReplayTV recordings have EVT files,
which are lists of commercial start and stop points. If the scanning
is something done once then I could write something to import these
files - I have to imagine this would be faster than commercial scanning
a half terrabyte of MPEG recordings.<br>
<br>
I have figured out the problems with getting these to play properly in
MythVideo (telling MV to ignore the ndx and evt files and using the
Internal player), so I was wondering if I could import the commercial
start and stop points and have the Internal player recognize them even
outside of /mnt/video. If not I suppose ln -s will work, it will just
make for a very busy directory. If I do have to go the ln-s route, do
subdirectories work or will I have link every file?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
