[mythtv-users] Re: How well does commercial detection work?

[SpikeyGG]

Chris,

  I recorded "The Toy" the other night on ABC's SD channel, I was hoping 
that the commercial detection would work much better since the movie was 
full-frame instead of the bordered stuff I have been recording lately (I 
don't know if the commercial detection works well with it).  I tried running 
it under blank frame with and without strict detection and also with the all 
method.  I even updated to last nights CVS and reran with a 
CommBlankFrameMaxDiff = 30.  Same result...

  The best set of commercial breaks started out within 2-5 seconds of the 
start and end of the first commercial break and reach 67-69 seconds towards 
the end of the movie.  It seems like the commercial detection never starts 
and stops on a blank frame, it should right?  Do you have any suggestions as 
to what I can try to get the detection more accurate?

  I don't think it's related to noise since I'm using DVB and my signal 
strength is over 90% on all channels.  Does anyone else experience this 
issue?

Thanks,
-Greg
