Even smaller margin that that. Lots of shows have a "teaser" at end of show and at start of show that is quite short. They also have the "scenes from next week" which is a real doozey when it comes to automatic detection since they look a lot like a commercial, sort of _are_ a commercial, but people consider them part of the show. I would say allow short breaks of program in the first 5 and last 5. The start of programs is of course also challenging because you have teasers, starting music etc. As for the "commercial break must be a minute long" heuristic, that's a good one -- except on sports, there you will see shorter breaks during pitching changes, gaps in the game etc. You can usually detect if a show is sports from the category. > > > In almost every recording of Daily Show, it skips right over the last > > 5 or 6 mins of the recording, right to the end of the show, and > > sometimes hangs up MythTV requiring a kill and restart of Myth :( > > I record The Daily Show, but only the first 15 or so minutes (don't care > about the interviews). :) I'll modify my schedule so I can get a sample > or two of this to see if I can work something out. Actually, it is because of skipping the interview that this is a problem. I know it goofs on this show, and so when I get bored with the interview I hit End (goes to start of commercial break) and then hit it again for the moment of zen and.. D'oh! -- it quits the recording. I would probably also recommend for the player that hitting End when it would terminate the recording give an error pop-up. If I want to quit the recording, I'll do that manually with D or Escape.
