Every now and then the "lets make a big online database of commercials" albeit learning or not learning topic comes up on the mailing list.
It might not be a completely bad idea per se, but it's just way out there at the moment. Commercial flagging would be way better of with someone spending some time on better "feature detection".. Chris has written pretty much everything himself, and while it's remarkable that things are often working, a lot of the detection (logo detection, scene change detection, blank frame detection) is not shockingly accurate.
If you want commercial flagging to get better, improve the methods that the highlevel algorithm bases its decisions on.
Anyone who can code can imho better spend his/her time on that, than on some self learning, global online commercial identification database. I am convinced "simple" look-at-video-and-audio commercial detection can become incredibly accurate if only more people work on it. Right now all we have is pretty much the work of one guy.
