Commercial-Clapboard

This is a post processing BASH / Shell script designed for use with Tvheadend (tvheadend.org) to scan for commercials, transcode to H264 & cut commercials from the H264 file. The script also uses the xmltv output of mc2xml to name recordings for Plex/Kodi(XBMC) to scrape properly.

The Post Processing Code in the Tvheadend configuration should be as follows:

/path/to/script/Convert.sh %f %b %c %C %t %d %e %S %E

Below is a description from Tvheadend of the output variables and their mappings in the script.

  • $1 Full path to recording (%f) /home/user/Videos/News.mkv
