-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
This pretty much all started out as trying to get commercial detection going, and turned out ending down different alleys in a fair few bugs. They may range across mplayer, freevo and kaa so I thought I'd post them here first before hitting the tracker. The first was with mplayer and it's time detection problems in MPEG-TS streams - commercial detection wasn't working as mplayer seemed to randomly get the starting time position in the video wrong (i.e. hit play on a video and mplayer reckoned it was 13 hours or so in - comfortably missing all the edl time values), more discussion is over here: http://tvcentric.com/viewvc/freevo/trunk/testing/Dischi/dvb-stuff.txt?view=markup&pathrev=5928 Seeing this I thought maybe transcoding the videos first to say XviD and then trying the commercial detection could work (should it?). So after setting up the encoding server, video.reencode and hacking the wiki into shape on these fronts I've found that the mplayer bug seems to have hit Freevo as well. I noticed a while back that some of my DVB recordings had strangely large times reported - an hour long episode of Kitchen Nightmares USA was supposedly 2973 minutes. It didn't bother me then as they still played fine. Trying to put Kitchen Nightmares through the encoding-server using the video.reencode plugin resulted in a traceback: 2008-04-09 11:03:35,845 DEBUG encodingserver.py (93): xmlrpc_initEncodeJob(source='/var/tv/recordings/02-14_21:30_Kitchen_Nightmares_Usa.avi', output='/var/tv/recordings/02-14_21:30_Kitchen_Nightmares_Usa', friendlyname='Kitchen Nightmares Usa', chapter=None) 2008-04-09 11:03:35,845 DEBUG trying ext avi 2008-04-09 11:03:35,854 INFO No Type found by Extension.
