I have several kids' movie mpegs recorded off TV from my previous PVR solution in my mythvideo database. Since these broadcasts contain commercials, I would like to use the commercial flagging/skipping routines in Myth to flag, skip and/or remove the commercials.
<br><br>Searching the list archives has lead me to try <a href="http://myth.rebuilddatabase.pl">myth.rebuilddatabase.pl</a> with the --file option as a solution; this creates a database entry for the mpeg as if it were an "orphaned" recording. Presumably, then I could run mythcommflag on the file to create the commercial flags. This creates a new entry under "Watch Recordings".
<br><br>So far, however, my experiment has resulted in an entry in "Watch Recordings" for which Myth claims there is no file, and a corrupted database that is causing daily backend crashes. Before I troubleshoot this method further, I just wanted to ask if I am pursing the correct/best method to do what I want, or is there something much simpler/easier/less disruptive that I should be trying?
<br><br>Thanks,<br>Steve<br>
