Ok folks,

i managed to get this working.

i'm on openelec 2.99.5 (RC5) with xbmc 12.0

i've got comskip working as post-processing script after tvheadend did the recording. comskip outputs 2 files for me. one EDL and one TXT.

The EDL contains the cutmarks in typical comskip format:
1837.84 2552.44 3
3369.04 3916.56 3
4354.92 4430.04 3

The TXT contains the cutmarks in typical Frame format:
45946 63811
84226 97914
108873 110751

i know xbmc reads the edl if found. i can log this in xbmc.log:

DEBUG: ReadEdl - Read 3 cuts and 0 scene markers in EDL file: /media/Volume/Recording/xxx.edl
DEBUG: AddCut - Pushing new cut to back [00:30:37.840 - 00:42:32.440], 3
DEBUG: AddSceneMarker - Inserting new scene marker: 00:30:37.840
DEBUG: AddSceneMarker - Inserting new scene marker: 00:42:32.440
DEBUG: WriteMplayerEdl - Mplayer EDL file written to: special://temp/xbmc.edl

But xbmc does not skip the commercial....... why not?

How are you accessing the file? Locally, over SMB, over NFS, via the PVR client's "Recordings" option...?

I don't think EDLs work in every scenario - some as bugs (there were issues with SMB, IIRC) and some as functionality.

You might find that accessing the file in a different manner would get a different result.

Daddy_Dog · 2013-03-22, 21:06

If you view the file using the PVR - i.e if you go into the Recordings window and play the file - the EDL file is not recognised (I believe this is because the PVR code does not yet support EDL). However, if you play the recording via the Video menu, (by creating a video Source that references the Recordings folder), you should find that the EDL files are recognised. That has been my experience anyway.

Hello cbxbiker61

I've got comskip compile succesfully and work on Ubuntu 12.04.2 but comskip creates only a *.txt (as like above) and not an *.edl of a recorded movie (mkv). What I'm doing wrong?

Daddy_Dog · 2013-03-24, 20:31

Check comskip.ini (probably in /etc/comskip/) and make sure you have "output_edl=1"

This is already set to 1 by default (and verified) in /usr/etc/comskip/comskip.ini

_BJ1 · 2013-03-27, 14:08

Solved. Had to create a folder /etc/comskip and link comskip.ini from within to /usr/etc/comskip.ini.

Any ideas ?

@seminox
Can you describe in detail how to get comskip compiled for OpenELEC for me ?

i got that too schumi2004 untill i install clang and got past that but no i get this error when ive executed this line:

Still the same error here:

Code:

checking for AVCODEC... no

configure: error: Package requirements (libavcodec >= 53.42) were not met:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables AVCODEC_CFLAGS

and AVCODEC_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

i think you have to

Code:
cd /var/tmp

mkdir ComSkipWork

wget http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-1.1.1.tar.bz2

tar xf ffmpeg-1.1.1.tar.bz2

cd ffmpeg-1.1.1

./configure --prefix=/var/tmp/ComSkipWork/ffmpeg-1.1.1-install

make -j8

make install

cd ..

wget http://www.xilka.com/xilka/source/comskip-0.93b.tar.xz

tar xf comskip-0.93b.tar.xz

cd comskip-0.93b

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/var/tmp/ComSkipWork/ffmpeg-1.1.1-install/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/usr

make -j8

sudo make install

ffmpeg did the trick, thanks.

Now i need to find out why i can't create executables for amrv5tel systems, want to run comskip on my ARM based NAS.

@cbxbiker61
Is it possible you place the binary for arm systems somewhere on the web or check Build script because i can't get it compiled (Ubuntu 21.10), not even with Synology toolchain (spksrc).

schumi2004 · (This post was last modified: 2013-04-11, 09:25 by schumi2004.)

I need some guidance here getting comskip to work on my NAS, i got it running but it keeps asking for option file

Can anyone tell me how to get a proper launch line with details etc i'm kinda lost here although it's working on my nas.

Remote support is appreciated Wink

Ok may be its my mistake. I'll try to build it on other ffmpeg.
