Odd. That's what the original silence-detect.sh script does as mythcommflag
--setcutlist used to be able to accept a trailing - as meaning 'cut to the
end'. I specifically added code to get the frame count from
mytharchivehelper.

Add

 	echo >>$LOGFILE "Total Frames = $FRAMES"

between the lines reading

 	let FRAMES=...

and

 	# From <http://www...

and try again. Which version of MythTV are you using?

I don't think that should cause a problem, but I think I use a post-roll of
5 minutes instead.
