[mythtv-users] realtime commflag

2006-01-18 Thread Endaf Jones
In the early stages of when realtime commflag was being implemented, my system used to be able to skip commercials DURING the in-progress recording. I mean, if I wait and let myth build up about 20-25 minutes of video and then start watching, I could have myth do commercial skip. Life was good.

Yes, I have seen this too (in the last two weeks or so), but with mythfilldatabase run while recording. Please see ticket 348 and notice my blocking errors as well. http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/348 This yields corrupt recordings for myself. Perhaps it's the same, perhaps it's different.

All I do is tell myth to use the DVD Special 2 (or something like that) encoder and set a highish bit rate. I take the nuv file and directly feed it into Nero Vision Express. I don't lose any quality in re-encoding as it's already in mpeg2 format needed for DVD. Don't put in any CC or other

This sounds like a PVR type receiver. There should be an option in the menus to disable the power-save/off mode (I can't remember what it's called). You can also modify your change channel script to hit a cancel button before the channel numbers are sent. I have this setup to send POWER-ON,

Thanks, but no, this does not fix the essence of the problem. The "video" can be over scanned by the nvidia card and several other video scan conversion devices. In doing so, the OSD (while the video is showing) doesn't know this and it projects as if the screen is not over scanned (the edges a
