[Freevo-users] Commercial break detection
Hi all, I did some work on detection of commercial breaks: i tried several methods: - Black frame detection from Matthieu Weber, i tried this one on recordings from dutch channels, it worked EXTREMELY well: on 6 hours of recorded shows not one error, a smooth detection!, it takes some time, but what the heck, that's why the "nice" command was invented. -Logo detection, i created a program which detects a Logo transmitted by the serviceprovider, some screenshots of detected logo's are available on http://213.10.252.115/commercial.pdf .but as i watched the shows, i noticed that even when te logo detection would be 100% error free: 1) The service providers blend in logos seconds after the show starts! or the service providers starts with an animated logo, after seconds it went static 2) The service providers use logo's WITHIN commercials to promote their own marchandise or show previews of upcoming shows. The only time logo detection would be usefull is when it can be used to "forecast" if a given period is a movie: suppose the minimum commercial length = 3 minutes, take a shot each three minutes, if on consequent shots there is a logo, then the timespan between the shots is 99,9% for certain not a commercial. (Taking a screenshot every 3 minutes takes allmost no time (1 hour movie, 2-3 minutes)) black frame detection takes more time (of course depending on cpu speed) -Soundlevel, the simple method I used was not usable and i doubt if this would ever work (a war scene might be detected as commercial. if a more suffisticated method would work, i dont know. it's also more time/cpu consuming as i thought. As far as i can see it for now, black frame detection is stable and usable for the Netherlands, how to deal with this in other countries, i don't know and i can't evaluate. For the Netherlands I tested SBS6, Veronica, Net 5 and RTL 4. Integrating the usage of an edl file within freevo is a piece of cake. my 2 cents Fons van der Beek --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.

Hi guys, first of all thanks for your answers. I've tried both ways, deleting the kika channel from the listing and removing tv_sort from the local_conf. Didn't help... but I've notized that it stopped fetching the TVprogram sometimes at a different station. So I came to the conclusion tht it might be a timeout problem. after shutting down all programms that consume a lot of bandwidth it came a lot further than before, still won't grab the whole listing :-) but it seems to be the right direction. The question is now is the timeout set by the provider of my listing or by the fetching script? Thanks anyways Martin --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.

[Freevo-users] Freevo / LIRC remote recommendation.
Hi all, First off, I hope I'm posting this to the right list. Perhaps I should be posting this to the LIRC list, but since I'm dealing with Freevo, I thought I'd post here first. My apologies if this is the wrong list. I'm in the final stages of putting together a Freevo/VDR box (under Fedora Linux), and I'm looking for recommendations on IR remotes that work well with LIRC. I currently have a Packard Bell remote (and receiver), and it sort of works -- it doesn't seem to be nearly as reliable with normal Linux LIRC as it is with WinLIRC (I also use a Packard Bell remote/receiver with WinLIRC on my Windows 2000 box to control WinAmp, and that works fine). Plus, the Packard Bell remote doesn't have quite enough buttons -- I'd like the remote to be more DVD-like and have chapter forward/backward, fast forward, rewind, etc. I'm going to need several of these remotes, as the TV feeds are all home runned to several modulators, one which is connected to my Freevo/VDR box. I also have distributed IR throughout the house so I can control my home entertainment devices from any TV in the house. Basically I see my options as (1) buy a bunch of DVD remotes, or (2) buy a bunch of programmable remotes and program the DVD button. Since our house is loaded with remotes already, I'd prefer to have a small remote. Also, many programmable remotes don't have all the DVD buttons. On eBay, I've seen small DVD-like remotes (xBox remotes, etc), but I'm not sure if/how well they are supported under LIRC (I looked in the LIRC remote database, but wasn't sure I was looking at the right ones). And there are lots of entries in the LIRC remote database, so I'm not sure which remotes work better than others. Can anyone recommend a reliable, inexpensive, DVD (or DVD-like) remote?

There was a patch for 0.8x older version of xmame to workaround troubles with sdl and directfb .. but i can't find it any more.

[Freevo-users] [ANNOUNCE]: vdr_xine 0.2 - A VDR (DVB) plugin for Freevo
Hi again, It should be vdr_xine not xdr_xine... sorry... I have found and fixed a problem with vdr_xine in Freevo-1.5.0-rc4. There have been 43 downloads but I have received no bug reports... Does this mean that it works for everyone who has downloaded it or that no one has tested it yet. Any comments are welcome. You can download the new version from: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/addons Notes: To use this plugin make sure that vdr with vdr-xine plugin is already working (See vdr and vdr-xine documentation). Run "freevo setup vdr_xine-0.2.tgz" and activate the plugin with plugin.activate('vdr_xine', level=5) in your config. vdr must be started with the "-P'xine -r'" option before freevo can use this plugin. Example: vdr -P'xine -r' -P'osdteletext -r' -Pttxtsubs -d The plugin is only tested with the following setup: freevo1.5.0-rc2, 1.5.0-rc4 vdr 1.3.10, 1.3.11 (with vdr-xine 0.3.4 or 0.4.2 plugin) xine-lib 1-rc4a, 1-rc5(with vdr-xine 0.3.4 or 0.4.2 patch) xine-ui 0.99.1, 0.99.2 (with vdr-xine 0.3.4 or 0.4.2 patch) This is my first freevo plugin and my first Python program so if you find anything strange or bugs in the code please email me or the freevo-devel maillist so I can correct the error and learn from my mistakes ;-).

No, but at least on some channels, it disappears before the ads start (a couple of seconds), so it's not as accurate as black frames IMHO, but they could complement eachother, though. >BTW, MythTV also has an ad remover, it might be interesting to take a >look at it?

I've been thinking about this already. Unfortunately, GUI is one thing I hate, so for now, I use my laptop as a terminal to my freevo box, and adjust the EDL with a text editor. > How reliable is your system?

It has been working correctly at 99% (probably even more) when generating the EDL while recording, and even closer to 100% when generating the EDL after the recording. > You also mentioned in the past issues with the EDL frames being off > slightly, what is the repercusions of this in terms of cutting permanent > video out? Do you think there is any way to fix this or doesit somply not > matter? I'm not sure what you mean. What happened is, that when mencoder drops frames (because I'm watching a DVD at the same time and the processor is overloaded) the EDL was inaccurate by several frames. This should be fixed in the dev version (haven't fully tested yet). But this never happens if you run the filter once the recording is over (actually, for safety, when I plan to really cut the video before archiving it to CD, I always re-run the filter, manually, after the recording has ended). Then, with recordings stored into AVIs, I use transcode's aviindex to find the I frames closest to my EDL's values and adjust the EDL, and then call transcode to actually cut the video. For non-AVI video (i.e. DVB), I'm not sure how to proceed yet. Here are the possibilities I see: - implement the EDL mechanism in mencoder also, in order to use mencoder to convert to XviD using the EDL to cut the ads - implement a TS parser in transcode to use transcode's cut plugin, - remux the TS to a PS, re-run the filter (because of PTS changes during the remux), and then transcode the PS/Mpeg to AVI/XviD using transcode's cut plugin, - convert the raw TS/Mpeg to AVI/XviD with mencoder, then use the filter, and then use transcode to cut the AVI. Converting the TS to PS (and fixing the PTS at the same time so that there is no PTS reset in the PS) while recording the DVB stream is an option also. For some reason, it sounds more of a cheat than the previous options, even though it would make my life much easier (we have a PS already, the EDL can be made easily, and transcode can be used for cutting while transcoding, and mplayer can use the EDL to jump the ads while watching, after a tiny bit of tweaking in the seek function of the PS demuxer, to make it more accurate). If I want to keep the MPEG as is, I might try to hack into GOPchop to make it a command-line tool, and use it to edit the MPEG without transcoding. But GOPchop understands only PS, not TS, so remuxing the TS would be needed too. Anyway, I don't have a DVD burner yet, so this is for the future. What is higher priority for me now is to get the filtering work while recording with mencoder to AVI (that's mostly working) and work with DVB recoring, also in real time. For the second part, I need the seek in mplayer to work accurately for TS which contain a PTS reset. I'm working on it, but slowly. Editing the video will come after that (I don't archive very much of what I am recording, I usually record just so that I can watch the show later, when I have time.

It really does take along > time to learn to really cut code. You guys are semi-gods in my eyes ;p Actually, transcode does this quite well, just tell it where to cut. The trick being to tell it where to cut to get clean results:) The one slight drawback is that the sound must be decoded and recoded in order to keep in sync when you cut (according to transcode's doc). It's not a problem with my low sound quality recordings, but it might be annoying with DVB audio.

The station logo isn't shown in the ads. No, but at least on some channels, it disappears before the ads start (a couple of seconds), so it's not as accurate as black frames IMHO, but they could complement eachother, though. BTW, MythTV also has an ad remover, it might be interesting to take a look at it?
