[mythtv-users] Commercials are never detected

[Matt Clifton]

Well I figured it out. All of my "commmethod" columns in the Channel table in the database were null. The value to use the global settings is -1 so I set all values in the commmethod column to use that value. This is the same as going to each individual channel in mythsetup and selecting "Use Global Settings." Programs are being flagged as expected now. I'm not sure how they got set to null in the first place, maybe something to do with switching back and forth between the .20 and .21 releases.

When I look at MythWeb it appears that the job was ran and completed fine. I have "All Available Methods" selected and "Strict Commercial Detection" turned off. Out of probably the 50 shows I've recorded so far not one has had a single commercial detected. I tried searching on Google and on this list but I couldn't find anyone with a similar problem. Any ideas?
