When I first started using mythtv back in 2006, commercial flagging worked pretty well.</div><div class="yiv1018971812MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv1018971812MsoNormal">I decided to try the patch referenced in this thread to see if it made any difference. The last football game I recorded found 21 commercials and only missed 1! What a huge improvement!</div><div class="yiv1018971812MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv1018971812MsoNormal">The one strange thing was that the skip started about 1 second before it should have and ended about 1 second before it should have, so you always saw the last ¾ second or so of the
last ad, and it skipped before the station faded to black to run the ads. Still, this patch has definitely been a major improvement for me.</div><div class="yiv1018971812MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv1018971812MsoNormal">Derek</div></div></div><meta http-equiv="x-dns-prefetch-control" content="on"><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org" href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</a><br><br><br></div></div></div></body></html>
