tgm4883Anyone want to test a new feature?04:48
mycosys?05:03
mycosysdeepends what it is lo, tgm488305:03
tgm4883mycosys, well i'm still working out a few kinks. but it's a python script that monitors for additions to mythvideo storage groups and adds it to the db and gathers metadata05:04
mycosysnice05:04
mycosysdoes it have the usual restrictions in that you have to name it tghe way myth devs think you should05:05
mycosys?05:05
mycosysor does it have enough intelligence to be able to concatenate a filename, and even look in an nfo for an imdb link?05:06
tgm4883both?05:07
tgm4883so what it does is05:07
tgm48831) it will add it to the db no matter the filename05:07
tgm48832) but for metadata gathering, it will try to search on the filename and will only gather metadata if it finds one result05:07
mycosysso how is it different to jamu?05:09
tgm4883jamu uses cron05:09
tgm4883this runs all the time and uses some kernel magic to know when a file has been added or removed05:10
mycosysahhh05:10
mycosysi dont tend to sit in mythvideo - dunno if it would be something i would notice?05:11
mycosysif it could do half intelligent recognition of files i would be very very interested05:11
adubzanyone figure out how to get hdmi sound working05:24

tgm4883shoot06:40
qwebirc26607is it possible to remove commercials entirely from a recording, and to automate said process06:40
tgm4883Yes, although I'm not sure I'd want to automate it06:41
tgm4883the commflagging is good, but it's not perfect06:41
