Actually, I take that back. SA is running awful now. I'd say its hit or miss if I even get it to work.
50% of the time I have perfect skipping. The other 50% I either get 1 mark on the bar, or none at all. I WISH i remembered what old version I used to run because that ran perfectly. I would completely revert back to that. But alas. Anyone have an estimate on the best previous version that had reliable execution with good detection? This newer version is just plain awful.

Do you see this more with 720p recordings than 1080i? Some of our local stations will broadcast 480i commercials in the middle of a 720p show. You end up with an mpeg file where the framerate is 59.94 for the show but 29.97 for the commercials. The inconsistent framerate causes the commercial markers from showanalyzer to be off.

It seems like it would make it easier to detect these commercials though.

Is there a solution coming?
Is this something that is being worked on, or will we be out of luck for a while? Nothing is more annoying that missing a scene or more due to a bad cut.. I'd rather just fast forward through the commercials at that point!

Unfortionately, this has been my experience with SA for the last year or so. I've converted to comskip and have not had any problems at all.
The one thing that I miss is SA's ability to not process when a show is being recorded or during playback. But it is more important to get the commercials marked correctly at this point so I just black out the time of day that I do most of my viewing. hope this helps, |

Getting back to this 720p thing though...I have an hour long 720p show that I've flagged the commercials in with both ShowAnalyzer and ComSkip. Both of them correctly find the commercials and the timestamps match up if I play the mpg file with something like WMP. If I play the commercial in SageTV and use the "click left/click right" buttons to jump to the commercial breaks then things get really screwy. Say the commercial starts at 7min 00sec and ends at 10min 0sec, if I click left to take me to 7:00 the timebar shows 7:00 but the mpeg is actually playing from the 30 or 40 seconds later in the show?? I can RW or FF skip to get things back on track but it seems like the timestamps are really hosed and that makes it look like SA/comskip didn't find the correct commercial breaks when in reality they did. I noticed when comskip runs that it is complaining about a lot of timeline errors. I'm going to give Video Redo's Quickstream Fix a try and see if that fixes this.

I guess I can try comskip again and perhaps Erik can help me with some of my settings. |

- Added ini parameter min_commercialbreak_at_start_or_end=39, any commercials shorter than that size in seconds at start of end of recording will not be remove. Do combine with disable_heuristics=4

do you guys suggest switching to comskip? I have been with SA for a very long time now and am hesitant, but the performance of SA is getting much worse with each update.

Well, certainly it won't hurt anything! I switch back and forth as I experiment.. generally SA gave me better results, but Comskip has better support from it's writer.. Erik gave me some suggestions just above this reply.. minutes after my posting stating issues I'd had with Comskip! I'm going to try it again, with his help, and see how it goes!
I'd say.. Go For It! It is a great program and worth an evaluation at the very least! |

I used SA first. I love the interface, but yeah, I hate to say it, I would recommend comskip at this point.

SA did pretty well tonight, but it still missed the last scene of 'The Office'.. even with the setting in the .ini to ignore the any commercials less than 60 seconds at the beginning and end of the show.. For some reason NBC didn't put it's logo on that last 'scene'.. I guess the SA forum is the wrong place to be discussing this Sure would be easier if there was an 'always_ignore_first' and 'always_ignore_last' option.. IMHO |

Even if I set the INI to higher than 39 seconds it still defaults to 39 seconds. I set my INI min_commercialbreak_at_start_or_end=180 Yet in the log I see min_commercial_break_at_start_or_end=39

Typo
should be min_commercial_break_at_start_or_end=.... Maybe we should open a separate thread for this en keep this one on topic.

I want to minimize or hide the popup ShowAnalyzer popup window. I tried using several different things in the DirMon2 "run" configuration, they were:
C:\Program Files\Dragon Global\ShowAnalyzer\ShowAnalyzer.exe -no status C:\Program Files\Dragon Global\ShowAnalyzer\ShowAnalyzer.exe -nostatus C:\Program Files\Dragon Global\ShowAnalyzer\ShowAnalyzer.exe -invisable The popup ShowAnalyzer window does not pop up, but each job in the job queue list is run for a few seconds, but nothing actually gets processed. I want to be able to either hide or minimize the ShowAnalyzer popup window, but there does not seem to be an option that works to minimize or hide the pop up window. Does anyone know how to hide the ShowAnalyzer popup window? Dave |

Configure ShowAnalyzer Global>>Settings>>Interface Set Show Status Window to No If you also do not want system tray icons, set that to No as well. If you don't want to see anything, then set Invisible Mode to Yes, this overides all settings within "Interface."

Jason,
That configuration changed worked! That popup was driving me crazy. I was trying to get the ShowAnalyzer to start minimized or hidden from DirMon2. I did not notice that configuration setting in ShowAnalyzer. Thank you for your help! Dave |
