[Main Settings]
; Detection method bitmask - add the values together for the methods you want:
;   1  = black/uniform frame    2  = logo detection
;   4  = scene change           8  = resolution change
;   16 = closed captions        32 = aspect ratio change
;   64 = silence               255 = all methods
; Comskip default (no ini): 107  (1+2+8+32+64, no scene change or CC)
; Recommended for recorded TV: 127 (all seven methods)
detect_method=127

; Verbosity level. 0=silent, 5=moderate, 10=maximum. Use 10 temporarily to diagnose misses.
verbose=0

; Number of CPU threads to use. 0 = use all available cores.
thread_count=0

[Output]
; Write an EDL cut-list file. Dispatcharr reads this to drive FFmpeg, which
; permanently cuts the commercials out of the recording file and replaces it in place.
output_edl=1

; Action code written in the third column of each EDL line.
; The format originates from MPlayer (values 0-1); Kodi adopted it and extended it (values 2-3).
;   0 = Cut         - player removes the section entirely; total duration shrinks (MPlayer + Kodi)
;   1 = Mute        - audio muted, video keeps playing (MPlayer + Kodi)
;   2 = Scene Marker - marks a point of interest; used for chapter-style navigation (Kodi only)
;   3 = Commercial Break - auto-skipped once on first playthrough; user can rewind into it (Kodi only)
; Dispatcharr's cut mode ignores this value (only timestamps matter for FFmpeg cutting).
; For mark mode the file is kept and handed to the player, so 3 is correct for Kodi.
; Default in comskip is 0; without this override Kodi would treat ranges as hard cuts.
edl_skip_field=3

; Suppress the default .txt stats file comskip writes alongside the EDL.
output_default=0

[Commercial Break Timing]
; Maximum total length in seconds for one commercial break (source default: 600)
max_commercialbreak=600

; Minimum total length in seconds for a break to be marked (source default: 20)
; 25s is a safe floor for US broadcast TV - avoids marking short interstitials
min_commercialbreak=25

; Maximum length in seconds for a single spot within a break (source default: 120)
max_commercial_size=120

; Minimum length in seconds for a single spot (source default: 4)
min_commercial_size=5

; Minimum show segment in seconds; blocks shorter than this are suspect (source default: 120)
min_show_segment_length=120

[Black Frame Detection]
; A frame is NOT black if any sampled pixel exceeds this brightness (0-255, source default: 60)
max_brightness=60

; Secondary check: if any pixel exceeds this value, comskip also checks the average (source default: 40)
test_brightness=40

; Maximum average brightness for a frame to be classified as black/dim (0-255, source default: 19)
max_avg_brightness=19

; Uniform-color (non-black slate) detection sensitivity. Lower = stricter. (source default: 500)
; Solid-color slates at break boundaries are also used as cut points.
non_uniformity=500

[Logo Detection]
; Minimum fraction of frames in the show that must carry the logo to enable logo detection (source default: 0.40)
; Lower this if the station watermark disappears often during the program itself.
logo_fraction=0.40

; Upper bound: if more than this fraction of frames has a logo, detection is disabled (source default: 0.92)
logo_percentile=0.92

; Edge-match similarity threshold for confirming the logo is present (0.0-1.0, source default: 0.80)
; Lower slightly (e.g. 0.75) if comskip fails to track the logo through compression artifacts.
logo_threshold=0.75

; Minimum fraction of a block that must contain the logo for it to score as show content (source default: 0.25)
logo_percentage_threshold=0.25

; Maximum fraction of screen area the logo may occupy - larger regions are rejected (source default: 0.12)
logo_max_percentage_of_screen=0.12

; Temporal smoothing filter for logo presence. 0 = off. (source default: 0)
; Set to 4 if brief compression artifacts cause the logo to flicker in/out.
logo_filter=0

[Silence Detection]
; Frames with audio volume below this value are treated as silence (source default: 100)
; Raise this if quiet dialogue or music beds are triggering false cut points.
max_silence=100

[Live TV]
; Set to 1 only if comskip is processing the file WHILE it is still being recorded.
; For post-recording analysis (the normal Dispatcharr use case) keep this at 0.
live_tv=0
