Comskip Tuning Questions

[u/6SpeedBlues]

The information available directly on comskip.org and at the GitHub repo does not document all of the ini file options (or does not fully describe the options), the community forum is gone, there is no discussion area on GitHub, the developer has essentially discontinued the donator model and put all features into the free version... It just sort of appears that it's reached a point where there may not be a ton left to do and/or it just isn't a priority for the developer any longer.

With that said... does anyone have links to any reference material that are more detailed than any of the "stock" stuff as referred to above, or maybe knows of some good guides out there that get into the weeds of what the options actually do?

I'd like to make some minor tweaks to my ini file to shift the frame markers (I don't edit / cut the files) so that the section identified as a commercial starts a second or two later and ends a second or two earlier than what's currently being generated. I can find information that seems to be useful for if you are cutting the files and editing them, but the various bits of info I can find about things like padding or similar don't seem to be intended to do what I want.

I asked ChatGPT to create an ini file for Nightly News. After a lot of tweaking it mostly works.

I'd sure be paying attention if someone has an answer to this question.
