> I've been using these patches ever since your PVR-150 typecast fix was added to 0.27-fixes and have only seen positive results. My testing is only "watching" recordings. HD recordings still seem to be fine but SD recordings are much better. Where I wasn't getting any commercial flags even after running the rebuild on the recordings I'm now getting the right number of flagged commercials. Not all "marks" are perfect but they're definitely on par with Myth 0.24 if not better. So what's the next step to get this added to the 0.27-fixes branch? Have you seen any negative results?<br>

Hi Carl,<br>
<br>
I'm glad my patches are working well for you. They are being reviewed by one of the devs. I believe his initial testing has been mostly positive, although he's got one recording where accuracy dropped by about half. I've shared a patch that helps that one recording, but doesn't help others. So ...<br>
<br>
Anyone else have feedback on the patches?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Helen<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think they are a definite improvement for my PVR-500 recordings. I don't think it's quite back to the accuracy it had in 0.24, but that's a high bar to clear. Comm flagging struggles a bit with The Daily Show (even in 0.24 it had both false positives and negatives), but that may be a challenge anyway due to the format of the show. By the way, on a lot of channels the logo extends into the letterbox bars; I know one of your patches adjusts the border for the logo detection; I didn't quite understand the formulas you had for the different resolutions though. For my 480i recordings, I think it ends up being like 2 pixels (but maybe that applies to the low-resolution decode used for comm flagging, if I understand correctly).<br><br>Karl<br></div></div></div></div>
