Commercial skipping

<< < (2/12) > >>

Osho:
Three things regarding commercial skipping that I would like to see:

1. Commercial skipping meta-data files should automatically be created by invoking the appropriate program by MC. User should not have to set-up some other program and/or scheduled tasks in Windows to generate meta-data files.
2. It should be possible to select if the meta-data is generated as soon as the program recording completes or at some user-configurable time when machine is not in interactive use.
3. Forward commercial skipping should be automatic. I shouldn't have to press any button on the remote to skip through the commercials.

Thanks,
Osho

I don't think anyone would mind if the feature is there as long as it was configurable. 

I prefer to use a custom app (DTB) to watch for new TV files and do interesting things with them (beyond commercial analysis).  Also, I'm not sure how you get around the need for end users to install/configure 3rd party applications like comskip and ShowAnalyzer (SA) so what's the harm in another step.  There isn't a one size fits all approach to this problem, some will want live scanning, some will want delayed and some will want to batch it up.

This is excitng, but how do we generate the EDL file?   comskip and Showanalayser don't know what to do with a jtv file.

Thanks

Can you use TS instead?

Maybe, I haven't tried.  But JTV allows me to watch a show being from a clent while it's recording on the server, ts won't.
