[mythtv-users] Patches that improve mythcommflag accuracy

[Brian J. Murrell]

Helen,

I have been watching this thread with great interest as I too find
commflagging too inaccurate.  In my case however I find that the actual
detection of commercials to be fairly accurate, however it's the
accurate recording of their locations that I find inaccurate.

This inaccuracy is due to variable rate recordings.  Mythcommflag
assumes that a recording has only one framerate and due to that
inaccurately records where commercials are when the framerate changes.

Apparently all of the data needed to rectify this is in the seek table
but is just not taken advantage of (yet).

Do your patches do anything about this problem?

Cheers,
b.
