 Binary package hint: mythtv

 Commercial removal works brilliantly (set to agressive), but several of
 the TV stations have commercial breaks in excess of 5 minutes (they do not
 seem to exceed 6 minutes) which are not removed. There is a GUI setting
 for commercial lengths. It's allegedly measured in seconds, but the
 setting is 3600. 5 minutes in seconds is 300, so it's not a 10x mistake.
 3600 seconds is one hour. ... the recordings which have two-three
 almost-6-minute breaks are about 55 minutes to start with.

 Regars,
   Nicolai

 The entire commercials are not removed. Automatic removal very nicely
 removes 3-5 other commercial breaks, but not those that are longer than
 5.0 minutes.

 Thanks,
