[mythtv-users] commercial skipping recorded shows

[Peter Marriott]

What you are seeing is normal.  The commercial detection takes a large
amount of grunt to determine blank frames, so after a recording has finished
a background process does all the hard work and saves it to a cut list, so
during playback it is almost instant.  When you hit Z during live TV it is
actually doing all the hard work straight away hence the slowness..

Cheers
Peter

i'd like some help confirming/refuting one of the problems i'm seeing
with mythtv.  when i record a show in the background and watch it later,
the commercial skipping works quite nicely and is very fast.  however,
if i've watched the show 'live' while its being recorded, then the
commercial skip sucks, taking 10s of seconds to skip through minutes of
video.  at least, i'm getting reasonably confident that watching it live
causes the commercial skipping to suck, but i'd like someone else to get
similar results before i presume thats the issue.

anyone else notice this?

cheers,

    CraigL->Thx()'
