[01:50:09] Sabotender: so, I enabled commercial detection manually in the front end, and…
[01:50:27] Sabotender: I haz grey flags!
[01:52:08] Sabotender: I also noticed a box that I could tick, that it would automatically run jobs for the commercial detection on those recordings that did not have it, after a user specified number of days (I chose two)
[01:54:08] Sabotender: commercial detection only partially works. I performed some additional research, and it appears that networks are beginning to get clever to work around the methods that are used by MythTV, etc. I had not enabled the experimental features come in because I am too nervous. 😛

[06:04:20] bill6502: Re commercial flagging (and other jobs) are they enabled in the Web App General->Job Queue (Backend Specific) bottom of the page for each type of job.
[06:08:31] mack: Detection alone won't change the recording. It just marks (flags) what it thinks is a change from program to commercial or vice versa. So if it gets it wrong, you can manually add/remove the marks afterward (or just ignore them and skip back or ahead when watching).
[06:09:02] mack: So no need to be nervous.

[22:38:35] Sabotender: mack: I am having a few weird situations, where I have vanishing recordings, that I never deleted. I still cannot find a complete colour-key for the recorded titles in the front end UI. these were recordings that I had been trying to save, but, got deleted… All vanished anyway. I had been performing research, and it appears that for newly recorded programs, it may have been an issue with poor reception. But, for those previous
[22:38:35] Sabotender: recordings that had perfect reception, I am not able to explain away. also, and this may have happened when I were fiddling with the keyboard-button assignment with my remote, but, I had several Phantom recordings appear… Namely, from the Twilight Zone, which I had not scheduled. I know, it's ironic. 😅
[22:41:54] mack: doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo.
[22:42:17] mack: 🎶
[22:42:21] Sabotender: Also, The pleasant news, is that commercial flagging works. It only does so, if I do it manually in the front end, as you directed. I am not able to yet get that job to run automatically and/or during a recording. I also decided to upgrade from my flat mouse pad television aerial, which I had been using for testing purposes, and have ordered an Omni directional that can be swivelled.
[22:42:38] Sabotender: haha
[22:43:48] mack: I'm still on an old version, so I still have mythweb. There, bright yellow indicates busted recordings (like something happened to the signal). I don't know if they chose the same colors when they moved to web ui.
[22:44:12] Sabotender: !
[22:44:40] ** Sabotender takes a sigh of relief. **
[22:45:41] Sabotender: that certainly explains things. I'm going to delete all of those yellow titled recordings. there are white ones, and, those that have been greyed out. Then there are blue titles… Which I believe are those that are currently being recorded.
[22:47:54] mack: The mysteriously gone recordings sound either like display filter rules set so you can't see them, or recording expiration rules are set incorrectly (or storage groups for recordings is too small).
[22:49:58] mack: The Backend Status tab in the web ui has as section in Machine Info that has disk space usage and recently deleted recordings and ones set to auto-expire. Looking at that might help troubleshoot.
[22:51:45] Sabotender: hmm backend status tab? danke, I will examine that right now.
[22:56:16] Sabotender: spaced use by deleted recordings, Space used by auto expirable recordings are consuming 0 MB and about 700 GB space is free
