If you trust the flagger enough (and I don't even though I wrote 95% of the current detection code), you could always create a User Job to run "mythcommflag --chanid %CHANID% --starttime %STARTTIME% --gencutlist" and that would copy the previously generated commercial break list to the cutlist. The commercial skip list is stored in the recordedmarkup table along with other information about the recording such as seektable info if it is a mpeg2 recording. The cutlist is stored in the recorded table in the cutlist field. I never got around to moving the cutlist into the recordedmarkup table even though I initially planned on it when I added the flagger and created that table. > program.

The T is probably supposed to be there at the start/end of the cut portions, but may not be displaying for one reason or another. -- Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Commercial Flagging, Cut Lists, and Transcoding...
I think I have a handle on how the transcoding works, although I would like to find some more detailed docs on it. However, I'd like to learn more about the Cut Lists, and how these relate to commercial flagging. As I understand it, commercial flagging is on by default, but to add a cut list based on the flagging, you need to do this manually. Also, it may be a good idea to check the commercial flagging, to make sure it is correct and does not cut any of the actual program. So, where can I find more docs on cut-lists? Are they out there? I've read http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.14, but this does not go into a lot of detail IMHO. For instance, when watching a recorded program, if I hit 'E' followed by 'Z' on the keyboard, this will show the flagged commercials in a bar in the OSD. Each commercial break is represented by a red bar within the green bar that is the program. However, some of these bars are surrounded by silver 'T's. Some have a silver 'T' on one side or the other, and some have none at all. What does it all mean? --Garry ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
