Would you prefer recordings of complete shows, to test the complete
commflagging algorithm, or are short snippets of program-to-commercial
and commercial-to-program transitions sufficient, to only test
detection of those?
And where would you like to get the cards sent?
I could contribute some German recordings. Commercials *are* usually
detected here, but are always a few seconds up to one minute off.
