Instructions:
Extract these files and place them in corresponding directories

Quote:/usr/bin
/usr/share
/etc
/lib
Include folder should be put in /usr.

Then i did chmod +x and chmod 777 on these files

Quote:/usr/bin/comskip, ffmpeg, ffprobe

Created a backup from original comskip.ini in /etc/comskip/ and replaced content van original with this:
Note: Maybe someone has a better version and would like to share it with some explananation if possible?

Created a folder for scripts, for example /volume1/@appstore/scripts, and placed this processing in it.
comskip-pp.sh
Note: Change COMSKIPLOGS and TVHEADENDPP to fit your needs.
Note: I also removed MKV and TS selection as seen in processing script in startpost because i only use MKV to store my recordings.

Added this processing line in TVHeadend in recording configuration

Quote:/volume1/@appstore/scripts/comskip-pp.sh f%

That's it.

Only a few things i would like to solve so maybe someone can help me with that.
Currently comskip detects and removes commercials but i think it's based on volume difference only. What i would like to see is remove every frame without channel logo!!
Sometimes the channels i watch are having a sort of commercial or program announcement before the actual program (same volume level but without channel logo!), i was hoping you could skip that as well?

Second things is trying to re-use channel logo, currently comskip crashes when doing that.

thank you!

@cbxbiker61 or any one else.
Are you guys successful in reusing logo and/or logo detection only (2) ?
When running same recording on a windows machine i'm getting a totally different logo then with Linux version and i can re-use it.
In both situations the edl output is the same using same comskip.ini.

Logo files are just an approximation of the logo, kind of a "best-guess" at the logo, so logo files created on different versions almost certainly will not match the logo file of another version. The software uses "fuzzy" logic when it matches logos.

When i re-use the logo created with Linux version comskip generates a error.
When i do the same on Windows with the Windows logo file created no problem.

I'm not switching them between versions.

Maybe some incorrect setting in comskip.ini ?

Probably windows crlf vs lf issue.

Could save some time if you could re-use logo's.
Then comskip doesn't need to look for logo again which speeds up the process.
