I had the same experience with mythcommflag when I tried it (some<br>
time ago).<br>
<br>
However, have you tried<br>
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythcommflag-wrapper" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/<u></u>Mythcommflag-wrapper</a> ? I find the<br>
silence-detect method works brilliantly most of the time.<br>
<br>
The wiki version is for 0.24. I remember having to modify it for<br>
0.25 (IIRC the setcutlist options moved from mythcommflag to<br>
mythutil). I haven't tried it on 0.26 yet.<br>
<br>
silence-detect<br>
works pretty well in Australia too on most channels however the default commflag and the silent-detect are pretty useless on the HD Channels.<br>
