The encoding server is not needed by the commdetect server. You are right, the commdetect server just scan the video for black frames and create an EDL file which is used by mplayer to skip specific parts of the video. Check the mplayer documentation for more infos on EDL files. I don't know if it works with xine too. Anyway, as any other "server" helper scripts, you have to run the commdetect server before you launch the main freevo application, by issuing the following command: freevo commdetectserver --daemon the same applies to the encoding server, if you need it: freevo encodingserver --daemon You can get a list of the helper script available, running: freevo --help Cheers, izio ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
