Thank you Reiner,

I searched for noad but could not find it. I have it installed now and am trying it out. How do you create a recording with the commercials cut out? Or do you just rely on VDR to do it on the fly?

Hi Norm,

I use noad (http://noad.net23.net/) to detect commercials and set cut marks.

Best regards, Reiner.

Are there any scripts out there to perform commercial detection and automatic cutting?

I run VDR headless on a server, with 2 RPI devices as my frontends. All recording is done on the headless VDR. I use VDRADMINd to set my timers.

I have a "Scanner' configured in my Plex Media Server to scan the recording directory of the VDR headless system and automatically add it to my Plex media server for later viewing by one of the many Plex viewers.

With this in mind, are there any scripts or plugins that can automatically detect and cut out commercials? I know we can run a post-recording script which would likely be the best way?

It should be possible to let VDR cut the recording also after noad is done, but the cut marks are sometimes a little bit off and sometimes not correct at all depending on the channels that I record from, so I like to have the ability to move them or just jump back or forward a minute. In general, noad is really good, but on some channels it does not work reliably enough to just cut.

A lot can be improved by learning it new logos, but that can be quite a task if you need lots of channels.

Noad looks to be working - BUT since I don't use VDR currently to play back, the app doesn't recognize the cut marks.

I've tried to configure remotetimer plugin but I keep getting errors that remote timers and remote recordings aren't available. I know I have svdrpservice configured. I tried both svdrp port and the streamdev-server port but it keeps coming back with an unknown error. Does anyone have remotetimer working with vdr 2.0.4?

Hi Norm,

you'll find noad at http://noad.net23.net/. In a nutshell, when a recording is finished, noad scans the recording for various markers, and sets (porposed) cut marks. In many cases, these will work out of the box, in some cases you will have to manually re-check them. Then, just ask VDR to cut the recording :-)

HTH!
