Houseofbricks 0 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just getting started with Emby - I have it set up to detect my HD Homerun device and it's working perfectly. However, I'd love to be able to strip out the commercials from my recordings. Is there any way to do that with the built-in Homerun support (via scheduled task, or...)? If not, does anyone have a suggestion for what backend I could use instead of the built-in Emby one that would allow ad skipping? I'm reluctant to add another service to the mix when I don't have to, but if there's a simple option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2493 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Dvrms toolbox works flawlessly for years for me under wmc, I don't see my reason why that should have changed. Granted it's not the easiest to set up but here are number of guides around. I believe the author of that is involved with emby and hope longer term he may put his skills to use in that area again. For now I'm happy to skip, U.K. commercial breaks are always the same length Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LehighBri 19 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 MCEbuddy is another good option to consider which can analyze commercials, remove them entirely if you like, plus much more. https://mcebuddy2x.codeplex.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspdend 174 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I don't - the live TV I record is via WMC and is converted to mp4 by MCEBuddy and dumped into a TV to watch folder on my server. Once I have watched the TV, most is deleted. The original recording is kept on the htpc and periodically I will go in and delete them all - I don't tend to keep them long term.

I use mine like a DVR, not long term storage. I convert them, move them into a Folder classified as home videos (So emby doesn't try to auto organize or anything like that) and then delete after watching.

Damstas 9 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Hmm. Is there any way to still keep them in Emby recordings? I would lose all of the artwork if I were to move them to new folder, since they can't be found on TheTVDB.

jasonmcroy 315 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I used to use MCEBuddy as well. I have it set up to move the converted file to my main TV Series folder where it is then picked up by Emby. MCEBuddy will even create the Series folder/Season folder if I have it set up that way or I am recording a new show that isn't already listed in my TV Series folder. I end up with Gotham (2014)\Season 01\Gotham S01E02 Showname.ts. I no longer cut commercials though so now I just use the built in Organization method within Emby itself.

BillW 30 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I just use the fast forward button on the remote and discard the show when I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damstas 9 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Just your mcebuddy output folder your recorded tv folder Doesn't help, since when it's deleting the original, it won't place the new one in the same folder, so Emby can't detect it in recordings.

epayson85 72 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I don't plan on ever keeping my recordings and I don't care how good mce buddy is if its something I want to keep there are groups with way better sources and are a lot better at compression / conversion than any of us. Now when it comes to recordingS the dvrms toolbox with comskip or show analyzer is FANTASTIC. For those saying Emby doesn't need this implemented are just kidding themselves. Wmc, media portal, NPVR, Kodi... They all support commercial skip files. This is something that those of us that watch / record TV from our PCs desire. Also to say just ff / rewind is funny considering the latest theater app that feature doesn't even work lol also have you tried ff / rewinding on recordings via android and firetv apps? It freezes up a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
