Anyone getting different results from Windows to Linux even with same INI file?
Windows public Comskip 0.81.061
Linux Comskip 0.93f.000
The INI files are the same on both machines, but in the debug log you can see some difference in parameters not set in the INI file.
Is there an equivalent version number between Linux/Windows so I know I'm comparing like with like, or is Linux a complete fork?

I gave this a try on Fedora 20 and while it seems to go a fair way, it does eventually segfault.
So before I start digging into why, I have a question...
Is there any option to make this tool dump the EDL in time-offset format rather than frame-offset? Keeping in mind that streams from broadcasters any more are typically mixed framerate by the time they splice their commercials in, so it's not good enough to just assume a constant framerate throughout a file and multiply frame offset by that one framerate, but indeed, a time-offset cut-list has to take into account framerate changes.

Can anyone comment as to whether there is support for mp4 files?
If not, would the solution just be to convert the mp4 files to a supported filetype?

I've got back to back logs from the windows and linux outputs of same file if its any use to you.
As I said, it does work on some starting commercials, so I can get some logs of it working also if that helps.

^ comskip doesn't "remove" commericals.
It creates metadata so that when it is played back the commericial is skipped.

oh, thx. You're right. So it DOES work. I get the metadata files.
so i tried it with XBMC. and the commercials are skipped mostly. but this results in a very weird behavior of XBMC at manually skipping forward or backward.
So to really cut out the commercials, for making it work with any player and for saving disk-space - there is an Windows app "Comclean". But i can't find a Linux alternative. Anyone having an idea?
