Not a big issue for me either. But very willing
to supply examples for you<br>
from Australia. USB Memory Stick OK?<br>
Send me an email off list, if you would like me
to send you details, (or I<br>
am happy to setup an FTP site for you to
download them from)<br>

Hey Michael,<br>
<br>
I am happy to donate recordings also and I am sure
there are other<br>
Aussies too. Maybe we could create a Wiki page or
something to<br>
co-ordinate our efforts so that we can cover all
channels including<br>
the shows that give good and bad results. I am
happy to create the<br>
page but I am literally walking away from my desk
to go home for the<br>
day so it will have to wait a couple of hours.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>

I think a wiki page for Australia is certainly a good
idea, just like there's one for UK comm detection.<br>
I can imaging that long term there's always going to
be some settings that work better in some countries
but not in others, so separating methods for regions
may be a good idea as a way to avoid false positives.<br>
<br>
fwiw I've found that silence detection script
mentioned here a while back generally works really
well on most channels in Melbourne, but not at all on
others.<br>
10, 11, SBS, ABC, 7 all appear to work based on what's
in my recordedmarkup table, by memory these generally
get the cut points pretty well.<br>
Channel 9 get's nothing from that script though.<span><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>I tried the Silence detection on a few recording from
channel 9 in Brisbane and had terrible results, I'll try
some other channels after hearing this.<br>

What settings are you using as i'm getting decent results from 10
& 7 but not from SBS?<br>
<br>
I'm currently using <br>
<br>
# Allow ad breaks to be upto this many seconds by coalescing
non-silence<br>
MAXCOMMBREAKSECS=400<br>
# Max level to be considered 'silent'<br>
SILENCE_THRESHOLD="-70"<br>
# Min duration to be considered 'silent'<br>
SILENCE_DURATION="0.15"<br>
<br>

I had originally got good results on SBS with default settings -
although I had to change the the script slightly to actually run on
local channels:<br>

Default operation is any channel not matched gets sent through to
original mythcommflag, whose switches had changed in my 0.25 version
compared to what the script expected.<br>
the "*) return 0 ;;" line is the key one, to run the silence script
on all channels by default, rather than to not run it. <br>
<br>
I then got some ok results on nine-GO with duration 0.1, thresh -40<br>
Did get some false positives also though, but I'm not using
autoskip, I'll just try the comm skip button on my remote when get
to a commercial and see how it goes.<br>
I haven't really finished testing this out though, not sure if the
higher threshold will cause problems on other channels.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
