Another Call For Help: Does anyone manually edit the commercials on a lot of their recordings?

Channels DVR Server

I have a hulu commercial ripper that rips out commercials :slight_smile:

#14

I don't see that option fyi I have 22036 recordings all processed by mcebuddy. a lot of which are from before I started using channels dvr. I am on the latest beta using the nvidia docker.

@techpro2004 what do you mean by "processed by mcebuddy"? We are looking for recordings where you have used the Edit Commercials functionality of the DVR and not modified the recordings on disk.

If you don't see the option I would guess that it's because Deep Video Processing is not enabled.

I'm not sure what you mean, but we are looking for recordings that have not been modified on disk.

mcebuddy runs comskip, removes the commercials, transcodes it to av1 and organizes it. I then add it through personal media to channels dvr. Please let me know if these files would be helpful to you.

@techpro2004 nope, that won't help. We are looking for people who fit into the original post. Thanks for offering.

I could try to start doing this again. I have all but given up on the commercial skip as it is wrong more than it is right. I've just dealt with it but I'd be happy to try and figure out what I need to do.

#20

Anybody else out there fit into the requirements up top:

and is interested in participating?

I haven't edited commercials manually in quite a while but I could resume doing it.
When you say "a lot of recordings", what number is "a lot"?

#23

Every little bit helps, but 50-100 or more would be meaningful.

#24

So I have a lot of recordings i've never messed with, but i'm willing to put in some effort to help with better automated processing. what's the easiest way to do this? I'm aware of the server webpage for it but never messed with it due to forced transcoding on browser.

#25

Do the recordings still need to exist? I have a daily show I usually manually verify but I delete the episodes after watching. I’ll submit if you like.

#26

Yes, they do need to exist.

There is button on each recording in the web interface to Edit Commercials. There is also an option on the iPhone and iPad when you long press on an episode to Edit Commercials.

#27

I have about 40 recordings all with original comskip and can make sure they’re all verified if you’re interested?

By Dec 5th will have about 55 recordings.

#28

@tree2369 have you kicked off the fingerprinting?

#29

Not yet, did you need me to verify all the recordings first and then run it?

No, you can run it at any time (now).

Im here to help. I have recorded so many shows for the family. I have edited commercials many times. the thumbnails are misleading. but I have not ever played with the comskip or any of that, cause I dont know how to and I dont want to mess it up.

#32

These posts should help you decipher what you are looking at when you see the thumbnails for a block in the commercial editor.
