<DIV>Sorry, I was wrong, I did change one variable...... maximum advert length.
I up-ed it to 6 minutes. On 5 for instance (yes, the channels you guessed were
correct), in CSI most of the adverts are 4 minutes 13 seconds exactly in length.
This is longer than the default advert length. What I guess is that most of the
devs might be American, where they tend to get much more frequent adverts, but
shorter lengths. </DIV>

</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE>Gareth,<BR><BR>Which defaults ? Are you talking about default
mythcommflag, with "all available methods" ?<BR><BR>Similar to OP I've never
found commercial skipping to be worth doing, more errors than
successes.<BR><BR>3,5,11,12,21 == ITV1,Channel5,picktv,dave,viva ??<BR><BR>Just
re-run on ITV1 and still see terrible results :-( On a 2 hour ITV1 "Lewis"
episode, algorithm picks up the rubbish before program start perfectly, then
finds 2 more adverts during the show, there are actually about 6, both the ones
it does pick up included significant amounts of the episode itself.<BR><BR>Not
complaining it doesn't work :-), just interested that it seems to work for
you.<BR><BR>I also tried mythcommflag wrapper, that tended to be over
enthusiastic, and find lots of small adverts all the way through. Maybe I need
to start watching American shows with continuous laugh tracks ;-)<BR>
