</div>Being 100% serious, I would LOVE to have a feature where the volume is<br>
halved during commercials!<br>
<br>
On the channels I watch, the commercial detection isn't 100%<br>
reliable... so I don't have MythTV set to auto-skip. Instead, I have<br>
it notify, and then I manually skip with the remote. But in the mean<br>
time, there are HUGE volume swings because the commercials are so<br>
loud.<br>
<br>
If the volume could be dropped automatically by a pre-set amount<br>
during the detected commercials, this would be a fantastic feature!<br>
<br>
<br>
(Is there a formal way to suggest or request features like this?)</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Even if there were... not sure how it would solve your problem. </div><div><br></div><div>If commercial detection works, you could auto skip... if it doesn't why would you want to have your show running at 50% volume for some duration. Inevitably you would need to crank up your volume to compensate then get blasted when the incorrectly detected commercial ended.</div>
