[mythtv-users] RE: Commerical Skip problem

[Ben Levitt]

I like watching recording too, but sometimes you just
gotta watch your show that just starting recording 15
minutes ago...

I'm using a pvr 250, and it seems like it searches for
a long time, but never finds what it's looking for. 
When control returns, it always restarts right where
it was when I presssed 'z'.  

Maybe instead of searching for black frames when you
hit z/q, it could watch for, and flag them as it
records so at least if it doesn't find any, it doesn't
have to search for 20 seconds before doing nothing...

If this could work well during Live TV, that would be
awesome!  But if it can't work well, then I think it
should be disabled (or diableable) in Live TV so that
if you hit 'z' or 'q' by accident (or habit if you're
used to watching recordings) you don't get stuck
waiting for it to timeout...

With hardware encoding, when you hit 'Z' during
LiveTV, Myth should be 
trying
to play through the video fast looking for blank
frames.  I'll try to 
test
with my pvr-250 sometime soon.  I rarely use LiveTV,
I'd rather wait 
until
the program is over and use the more-accurate
commercial detection info 
from
the post-record flagging thread. :)
