Thanks, I'll try!

Sorry, the pre timer isn't correct. In addition markad crashes while demuxing. I attached the link to the recording.

Here is the recording:

Thanks I will try it.
By the way the start detection works perfect. It is only the stop detection. Typically vdr has a post timer of 10 minutes. Maybe markad should use also this range for stop detection.

Stop detection starts at detected start mark + length from info file. It catches the first "stop mark". If it cannot determine a stop mark it assumes a stop mark. On your recordings the contrast after the logo fades out is way to low to recognize a stop mark. So markad cannot and never will be able to detect a stop mark there, only if the station is going to use a transparent logo (which makes logo detection easier) or the following event has DD5.1 sound or vertical or horizontal borders or uses an different aspectratio etc. pp.

Here is a typical mark file:

0:01:02.27 detected logo start (3126)*
0:16:02.50 assuming stop (48149)

The start mark is perfect! However the stop is estimated and too early. I am thinking of the following:
If the stop is assumed (assuming stop), than I add 100 seconds. I could try to implement it by hand. Too late is for the stop mark not a problem.
If the start mark is correct, one is happy that markad works. If the film stops too early one says that markad is not working. However if the stop mark is behind the end of the film, nobody will really care because at the end of the film one has to use the remote control in anyway. If someone what to use the marks for burn a dvd or blueray one will adjust the marks in anyway.
What do you think?

The wrong pretimer seems to be fixed with SD. With HD they are still of by one minute. Correct should be pre-timer 1m

Is info.txt changed after the start of the recording?

It doesn't look like:

The pretimer is 1 minute, the posttimer is 3 minute.

I tried the -i 4 option. It doesn't work. The marks.org is the marks file without -i 4, marks is the file with the -i 4 option. The correct result should be:
0:00:53.20
0:16:53.49

I added another commandline option and fixed the pretimer output, please check the latest GIT version

Great!!! I'll tell you the results!

Super!
1) The pretimer are now correct!
2) The option works, the "assuming end" is suppressed by the additional command line option.
Thanks a lot!

PS: I don't know if you read my message in the vdr-portal? Please have a look!
