Warning: This behavior is not supported within the mythcommflag/mythtranscode programs themselves as the commercial detector is not considered sufficiently accurate to permanently remove sections of video without a manual confirmation.

##### Commercial Remover Script for MythTV, updated November 3rd, 2014
###
##       Version Changes to mythutil and mythcommflag tools under MythTV 0.25
##        necessitate different commands within the script. (Under MythTV < 0.25 you could
##        just point mythcommflag at the recordings in the file system and get the job done, now
##        under MythTV 0.25 you have to use mythutil to generate the cutlist and mythcommflag to
##        flag commercials, AND point both at recordings based on %CHANID% and %STARTTIME%.  Under
##        MythTV 0.25 mythtranscode can also be pointed at %CHANID% and %STARTTIME% but since it
##        currently supports the older infile /outfile method as well (and I prefer how this
##        script creates old/new files, it is the method used.
##
##      Since this script requires the User Job to pass additional arguments under MythTV 0.25,
##       use following User Job syntax for userjobs under all versions:
##
##        'removecommercials.sh %DIR% %FILE% %CHANID% %STARTTIMEUTC%'
