When I saw my CPU going through the roof I saw the job running as ad detection and when I disabled it my CPU went right down to normal. Strange. SO I have always thought this was a CPU intensive thing,. I noted the jobs ran after the recording completed and it redid those until I disabled the detection. Anyways I am happy enough to give it another go now as I am setting up new mythtv on 18.04. <br class=""></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On 7 May 2018 at 15:19, Nick Rout <span dir="ltr" class=""><<a href="mailto:nick.rout@gmail.com" target="_blank" class="">nick.rout@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr" class="">Silence detection is not CPU intensive as it involves no video decoding. <div class=""><div class="h5"><br class=""><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 7, 2018 at 2:59 PM, James Walker <span dir="ltr" class=""><<a href="mailto:james.walker.nz@me.com" target="_blank" class="">james.walker.nz@me.com</a>></span> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class=""><div class=""><div class="">The tooling I have setup is per this wiki page:</div><div class="">https://<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Commercial_detection_with_silences" target="_blank" class="">www.mythtv.org/wiki/Co<wbr class="">mmercial_detection_with_silenc<wbr class="">es</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The processing seems to be reasonably light weight and pretty fast.
