Re: [mythtv-users] mythcommflag without using the DB
That would be great! I tried downloading the src from the main dev trunk on the page, but apparently the link seems to be giving some error. Can you send me the src.

[mythtv-users] mythcommflag without using the DB
Hello, Does anyone know how to use the mythcommflag program with regular mpeg files without using the DB. I just want to get a list of frames bordering the commercials in a text file or something. I would appreciate any help.

I would appreciate any help.There's no way to do this with mythcommflag, it isn't setup to flagexternal files that Myth doesn't know about. [EMAIL PROTECTED] mythtv-0.18.1]# ./programs/mythcommflag/mythcommflag --video /video/test.mpgThis command line tells Myth you want to build a seektable in thefilemarkup table so you can play the video file using Myth's internalplayer, it doesn't do any flagging of commercials at all. --Chris___mythtv-users mailing listmythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
