</span>Each recording rule in its Post Processing section has the option for<br>
"Advert flag new recordings". You can turn those flags off in each<br>
recording rule, and also in your template rules so that any newly<br>
created recording rules will not have it. If you want to turn all<br>
those options off in all the rules, then there is no way that I know<br>
of using the GUI except to do it manually one rule at a time. You<br>
could do it with SQL - the setting is in the record.autocommflag field<br>
and setting that to 0 should disable commflagging for that rule.<br>
<br>
But if you have turned off the global flag in mythtv-setup, that<br>
should have disabled commflagging completely. If it has not, that<br>
would seem to be a bug. I would presume that changing that setting<br>
would require restarting mythbackend - did you do that?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If you are willing to compile myth yourself, you could try the comm flagging patches recently posted here by faginbagin: <a href="https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12308">https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12308</a> I believe they were written with the intention of improving commercial flagging with North American standard definition content, but they may work for you too.<br><br></div><div>Karl<br></div></div></div></div>
