Skipping commercials?
Hello,
I would like to skip commercials in my dvb recordings.
I know mythtv has some methods but I don't really want the hassle of mythtv setup and use. It is relatively early stage software and besides, I prefer to have a normal window-based UI. I use kaffeine and except for absence of commercial skipping, like it.
Ideally I would want a program to run on an already existing recording, to mark or cut out ads.
A Windows program, comskip, exists. It is closed source and its configuration seems opaque. I will still try it under wine, but perhaps there is a better way?

Um. If you say so. Been happily using it for over six years now...

MythTV is open-source. Look at the code specific to the mythcommflag binary. Adapt it for stand-alone use. It wouldn't even have to do the actual cutting, just output a cutlist something like gopchop, avidemux or similar could use to set cut points.

Hi Mikhail,
I use comskip in Wine with no issues. It works on HDPVR recordings as well. If you'd like a script, I have posted mine here:

If you find a standalone Myth version I would be interested in that.
Thanks,
B
