This script was started based upon the old script, which was needed as part of the MythGrid plugin development. It was necessary to change it so significantly to get the required behavior, that it seemed cleaner to post it as a new script.

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


In order to run the script as a user job, add the following command as a user job in your backend setup.

commercialremover.sh %DIR% %FILE% %CHANID% %STARTTIMEUTC%


Important.png Note: Be sure that /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt has the required information to edit the database. Also, be sure that it can be read and that the user can edit /tmp/ folder, which will be used to store logs. Be aware, in its current state, the script will overwrite the original recording, which may not always work correctly.


The following script can be setup as a User Job to automatically flag and remove commercials from a recording. This script code was updated 11/21/2013 to work with MythTV 0.27. It should still work with 0.26 as well.

#####   commercialremover.sh Script for MythTV, updated 2013/11/21
###
##	Made for MythTV 0.26 also tested against 0.27, by jmw for MythGrid
##	https://sourceforge.net/projects/mythgrid/ 
##
##      This script requires the User Job to pass additional arguments under MythTV 0.26 or higher
##	User job command:
##      ‘commercialremover.sh %DIR% %FILE% %CHANID% %STARTTIMEUTC%'
