[mythtv-users] Commercial flagging on a sample basis

[sylvain brejeon]

Hi all,

Am I wondering if a commercial skipping method on a sample basis has ever
been attempted or discussed about here?
A learning process in a way where some properties of commercials would be
recorded and then used for flagging.
It wouldn't need a huge amount (to be updated overtime though) of samples I
think, as it is always the same bloody ads that come up over and over again.
Maybe even a database could be shared over the net.
Please let me know if it already exists or what you think about it.

Also I was thinking about the (US) series, aren't they formatted so the
commercial breaks last 3 minutes every 5 mins of actual programs for
instance?
I'm not sure that it would be a viable method but it would permit to release
the CPU at regular intervals...
well, was just a thought and maybe it's already the case with current
flagging methods.

Thanks
