Ok, got a working copy. If anyone would like to give it a try and let me know how well it works for your cable company. It's built against 1.7 svn.
Attached in the tarball: tar -xvf commercialDetection.zip src/commdetectcore.py src/helpers/commdetectserver.py src/video/commdetectclient.py commdetect.patch [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/src/freevo-1.7# patch -p1 < commdetect.patch You can start the server with: ./freevo commdetectserver start After a scheduled recording has finished, it'll automatically be queued to make a edl file generated. You will also need to add the following to you local_conf: REMOVE_COMMERCIALS = True P.S. Duncan, could you take a look; i'd like to eventually get this into the current SVN and want to know if it's upto snuff. On 1/10/07, Justin Wetherell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'll write it against 1.7-svn but I envision it being a server like the rss or encoding server, so only a few lines of code will need to be added to the actual Freevo base code. I manually editted an edl file for mencoder and the blackframes were detected correctly (and skiped the commericals correctly), i now have to find some sort of pattern, so I can automate the process.
