BETA: Enhanced Commercial Detection

I'm able to enable Enhanced commercial detection in Windows with the latest release. Thank you!

It maybe better to add an option to add 5 seconds to the last show block. The credits sometimes show right after a show ends and other times after commercial segments. This is not a big deal to me. I just need watch my recordings with the enhanced detection to see how it is when the show ends. The current version may work just fine.

I suggest the guidance encourages people to include the credits as a show block as well. I understand many credit rolls have ads for other shows, but everybody deserves credit for their hard work.

I've started a document to try to aid in the consistency of editing commercials to submit to us to use in Enhanced Commercial Detection:

I'm running into an issue with enhanced commercial detection turned on where I am not having commercials marked at all. But if I turn enhanced commercial detection off, I see where ComSkip found the commercials.

I'm not sure what I can do to fix it. I'm on Unraid running in Docker.
I submitted diagnostics if it's helpful.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. If you go Edit Commercials for a recording and toggle between Enhanced and Standard are you seeing commercials marked in both situations?



This is an example of what I'm seeing. @eric

Is this happening for all of your recordings or just some of them? What is the source of your recordings? Have you edited and submitted any of your recordings?

I haven't edited any recordings except for one, although I reprocessed this recording and it worked. So I'm wondering if it was possibly a bug in between beta releases.

I recorded two shows this evening and they both processed just fine, so I'm wondering if it was just a one-off blip.

@mackid1993 okay, let us know if you see it happen again.

Does running Live Commercial Detection effect accuracy the enhanced detection post recording? It’s something I have turned off due to reduced accuracy, but if enhanced fixes those live errors would be nice to enable.

Yes, it will impact the accuracy of enhanced detection. I have not run calculations to quantify how much at this time.

No worries thanks for that.

With enhanced, I can see a little icon that marks show vs ad, how come in this pic some of the show markers aren’t selected? Or are these markers from my verified edit?

Those markers are showing you what your verified edit had so you can compare the decisions that were made by the different detection methods compared to your decisions.

It's possible i edited a couple more than a year ago, there's no way I edited 624.
I don't want to pollute your inputs.
how can I clear that up?

Go to DVR -> Manage -> Shows and select Filter -> Commercials -> Verified to see all of the ones that have been edited.

Ahh, it's all my PlayOn content. I'll not mess with it or worry about it then.

Oh, that's good to know! There may be something wrong with my calculation in that case. I'll look into it!

This should do a better job of calculating.
