Comskip for Linux released
#61
I'm going to have to do some serious tuning to make this work for me, but that's no-one's fault - the original comskip on Windows struggles as well, too many different DOGs to fight with as much as anything, I think. But this is doing what it set out to do, it seems, and cbxbiker61 is being very responsive to this thread - so thanks again for all the great work on this.

Now, how's H.264 support coming along? :-P

I must agree that cbxbiker61 is very responsive on this thread and very helpful in finding solutions.
Big hand of applause for that!! :):)

I'm a bit confused at the moment though...
When I process an mkv with offset 0.0, the start is sometimes correct, but skipping over the commercials seems sometimes 30 secs later. (tv show is already playing 30 secs after commercials ended).

When I process an mkv with offset 30.0, the start is sometimes aprox. 30 secs later, but skipping over the commercials is correct.

At the end, I had to use "edl_mode=0", since value "3" (Commercial Breaks) seems to be ignored by XBMC (no commercial skipping).
With value "0" the time of the video is adjusted (shorter), this seems correct.

I make the recordings from DVB-T provider "Digitenne" (KPN) in Holland, so I guess al video's should be PAL 25fps.
Is there a way to calculate the values in the .edl or .txt file to the actual times, so I can manually check this in another player,
for example VLC? (to check if detected times for commercials is correct).

Thanks!

I've release 0.92c.

Generation of .csv files should now work (useful for tuning comskip).

More code has been converted to C++11.

Commercial detection should behave the same as before.

Once the code cleanup is finished, we can begin to look at more improvements to commercial detection.

Theoretically H.264 should work from mkv files. I haven't tested it though, since most of the source material starts as mpeg. H264 would be a likely target after running comskip, i.e. start with mpeg, locate commercials, then transcode to h264 with commercials removed.

Hey Biker!

Thanks for the update, but this is the first version I'm unable to compile.
I use the procedure for ffmpeg < 0.9.

0.92d should take care of that, as well as eliminating some of the other warnings (g++ 4.7 doesn't post some of those warning).

The H.264 comment was part jest, part serious - I'll test to see if your code does happen to support this through whatever library calls you're using, though. HD recordings (on both UK DVB-S2 and -T2) use this by default, otherwise yes, you're right - you'd Handbrake the files as a final step.

This is weird...

I've processed an already recorded .mkv with 0.92d.
No matter if I use offset 0.0 or 30.0, the skip is done on the same position.
It also skips to the same position. Seems like the offset makes no difference?

I run the latest 11.0 "Eden" version, where the "30 second bug" for [b].edl[/b] files is already fixed.

There's a fix out for the 30s bug in tvheadend, though you'll need to download and compile the master branch yourself to get it...

This version doesn't seem to detect commercials as well as the windows version under wine. (I'm getting ~8min of commercials with wine and ~1min with this version on the same file).

Were there major changes to the code?
Are other's seeing something similar?
The ini files seem smilar between the two versions, is there anything I can do to improve performance?


Also somewhat off-topic, I don't have commerical skpping working in XBMC frodo under live-tv->recordings, only when I create a share to the recorded tv folder. Is anyone else seeing something similar?

Anyone tried to run this on a NAS and do i need a updated TVH for it?
I own a Synology NAS and can't upgrade TVH because of GCC limitations from Synology toolchain.
Currently i'm running TVH 3.2.18 and if i need to upgrade this to get Comskip working then it's a no-go for me unfortunately

I downloaded the masterbranch, but unfortunatly it's unable to compile due to errors during compilation:

Tvheadend 3.2.18 works great for me. Configure tvheadend to output to .ts files.

I've compiled and tested my comskip versions on an armv7l (CuBox) system. It compiles clean and seems to work fine (much slower than on my FX-8350 box).

@MarcAngelo - I had the same problem - it's because (I suspect) your ffmpeg version is too old. If you don't fancy updating system-wide, or pointing tvheadend to the updated version you inevitably installed while compiling comskip, try ./configure --disable-libav instead before make. I don't know what this really leaves out, I think it's some new muxing code.

@schumi2004 - you don't need to do anything with tvheadend, comskip is standalone with no dependencies between them. You could run them on separate boxes if you wished...

Well...
I was able to compile tvheadend using the --disable-libav, but I did found something that's changed... Smile
In my current version I had the following in the webinterface Tab "Configuration" >> "Digital Video Recorder".

For "Media container", I could select "Matroska" or "TS".
With the new compile version I have now "Matroska" and "Same as Source (Pass through)", but a test-recording shows
that "Same as Source (Pass through)" creates a .TS file Wink

Do you think it might be possible to compile tvheadend against ffmpeg like comskip shows for ffmpeg < 0.9 in the first post?
This is what I used to get Comskip compiled.
Perhaps an option to get it compiled without --disable-libav ??
