Joe, commercial detection marks the location of the commericials (or what are perceived as commercials) in the program you recorded. there are several levels of commercial detection you can choose from. i believe the 'ALL' method is recommended at the moment. i think as you select the flagging methods you will see a small description regarding how they work and what they are looking for. you can also select how you want flagged commercials to behave when watching a recorded program. they can be ignored completely, they can pop up the OSD and let you know that you've hit a flagged commercial, or they can be automatically skipped. Comm-flagging and skipping works better on some shows than on others. you'll kinda have to feel it out depending on what you watch. there may be more info in the archives regarding specifics of shows. setting the comflag options are easily done from the frontend. you should be able to go into settings/utilities and then tv and walk through the wizard. one or two screens have mention of comflagging and and when to do it. they are just checkboxes. easy enough. :)
i currently use the 'ALL' flagging method and all shows recorded are flagged. a couple shows, such as LOST, i go through and edit the cutlist by hand. LOST is one of those problem shows that doesn't work perfectly with comflagging (and my wife gets really miffed if we end up jumping all around the show :) _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
