I only need a simple editor for streams recorded from TV. I want to remove the start lead, the tail end, and the commercials in the middle.
I was reading some thread about cutting on the mythtv list - I can't find it again, but in mythtv, you mark the lead and the tail, and you can have mythtv mark the commercials. I am pretty certain I saw someone mention that he used ffmpeg to do the cutting based on the marks from mythtv.
Somebody also mentioned https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythDVBcut
I don't do any video cutting myself - mythtv has the marks, that is sufficient.
Interesting.
I read somewhere that MythTV used a contributive system to publish the commercial starts-ends, so that the thing could automatically skip them when playing, or perhaps when saving.
To be honest, I don't use the commercial detection system in MythTV. I think I had trouble with it in the beginning (5 years ago), and then never bothered again. When an ad section starts, I find it just as easy to press '4' and skip forward (cursor right). (95% of ad sections are 4 minutes long, some 2/3/5 even 6). You also get to judge the popularity - the longer the break, the more popular the show :-)
I wish that kodi would have a similar thing.
I thought kodi was just a media player? Or does it record as well? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.7°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
