Comskip

Quote from Iridium

Mario77 This is my working comskip.ini

comskip.ini.txt

(Remove ,txt) for the UK freeview. Seems to work OK, not perfect but fairly good.

If you can improve it, then please advise.

Thanks for that...

looks very similar to what I m using..

Only difference I can see is in

yours is "min_show_segment_length=125" mine 250

and "volume_slip=20" mine is 40

On most shows mine works perfect but there is a couple that I can't get to work as it should..probably will have to live with it..

I would say it works fine 90% of the time...think it's about right..

Looks like comskip edl files are not working in latest LE with Kodi 18.4 from library...they do work from pvr recordings

There is a post 18.4 commit for Kodi fixing this.

Thanks mglae. According to the post comskip edl and txt files should be fixed in Kodi Leia 18.5.

EDL works only from Pvr recordings in 18.4

Any advantage of using txt instead of Edl?

I am using txt file output from comskip run as a post-process by TVHeadend on TS video files created with TVHeadend.

I downgraded LE 9.1.501 (Kodi 18.4) to LE 9.1.002 (Kodi 18.3) to get commercial skipping working again.

See Index of /

I found no benefit using EDL files on my RPi4-4 (I tested EDL, EDLx and VDR output from comskip). I found that Kodi Leia 18 was seeing EDL files as video files and entering them into the library causing duplicate entries, so I switched them all off again.

I will test EDL files again when Kodi 18.5 becomes available through LE - as that seems to be the preferred Kodi specification for commercial skipping. See Edit decision list - Official Kodi Wiki.

Hope this helps.

Strange indeed...I m too using comskip from tvheadend but on .mkv recordings..

Strange thing is that edl never scanned to library...VDR did scan so I removed them

Also edl are still working from pvr recordings..

Also for some reason adding recordings as a video source is not working anymore for me...shows dont play from library..

I would like to point out that PVR recordings EDL only work with the correct setting set.

IMO the txt files are EDL files.

Did anyone managed to get comskip to work from a script on LE?It works fine from a postprocessor commands but I got a script as post command and I m trying to integrate comskip with it...no success yet..keep getting

Read-only file system - could not create file %f.txt

@JanneK I've moved from LE to Raspbian for TVH so I'm not totally sure of file locations.

Your easiest solution is to put the full path of the script in TVH --> Configuration --> Recording --> Profile --> Post-processor command.

Use "%b" to add the TVH filename as input to the script. This works fine for SD. HD files take forever to process (More than the actual program length).

So for me: /home/pi/bin/QTVHComskip "%b"

Batch processing does have issues unless you are sure no recording will take place whilst the script is running. I got round this by writing a script that moves the file in question once it has completed recording

Find the comskip executable with which comskip

This is the script I used for batch processing: Change .txt to .sh

Qcomskip.txt

Hi Iridium

I m trying your batch script for comskip..

My problem is I have my recordings in various subfolders..

cd /var/media/HDD/Tv_Shows_Recordings

this command only processes recordings in that folder..

Do you have any idea how can I make this script to work with subfolders..

Thanks
