MarkAd - marks advertisements in VDR recordings.
MarkAd marks advertisements in VDR recordings.
- Usage: markad [options]
<cmd> <recording>
- -b , --background
- markad runs as a background process; this will be automatically set
if called with "after"
- -l , --logocachedir
- directory where predefined logos were stored, default
/var/lib/markad
Note: Channels sometimes change their logo. If logos kept
in the cache are out of date, this will result in bad mark results.
- --autologo=<option>
- <option> 0 = use logo only from logo cache directory
1 = extract logo from recording, if fails use logo from logo cache
2 = use logo from logo cache directory, if missing extract logo from
recording (default)
If no suitable logo file is found, markad will try to
find the logo in the video and store the result in the recording
directory.
- --fulldecode
- decode all video frame types use it only on powerful CPUs, it will double
overall run time
- --cut
- cut video based on marks and store it in the recording directory there are
no splits of the target file, make sure your filesystem can handle big
files
- --smartencode
- this option is only available on command line usage requires --cut
re-encode only short before and short after cut position
- --fullencode=<streams>
- this option is only available for command line usage requires --cut full
re-encode video generated by --cut use it only on powerful CPUs, it will
double overall run time <streams> all = keep all video and audio
streams of the recording
best = only encode best video and best audio stream, drop rest
- -p , --priority=<priority>
- software priority of markad when running in background
<priority> from -20...19, default 19
- -r , --ioprio=<class>[,<level>]
- I/O priority of markad when running in background
<class> 1 = realtime, <level> from 0..7,
default 4
2 = besteffort, <level> from 0..7, default 4
3 = idle (default)
Make sure your I/O scheduler supports scheduling
priorities and classes (e.g. BFQ or CFQ).
- -v , --verbose
- increments loglevel by one, can be given multiple times
- -B , --backupmarks
- make a backup of existing marks
- -L , --extractlogo=<direction>[,width[,height]]
- extracts logo to recording directory as pgm files (must be renamed)
<direction> 0 = top left, 1 = top right
2 = bottom left, 3 = bottom right
[width] range from 50 to 480, default 192 (SD) / 288 (HD)
[height] range from 20 to 250, default 100 (SD) / 180 (HD)
- -O , --OSD
- markad sends an OSD message for start and end
- -R , --log2rec
- write log files into recording directory
- -T , --threads=<number>
- number of threads used for decoding, max. 16 (default is the number of
CPUs)
- -V , --version
- print version info and exit
- --loglevel=<level>
- sets log level to the specified value
<level> 1 = error
2 = info
3 = debug
4 = trace
- --markfile=<markfilename>
- set a different marks filename
- --nopid
- disables creation of markad.pid file in the recording
directory
- --online[=1|2]
only used by markad plugin internal call, do not use it
for command line start
default is 1
start markad immediately when called with
"before" as cmd
If online is 1, markad starts online for live recordings
only, online=2 starts markad online for every recording. Live recordings are
identified by having a '@' in the filename, so the entry 'Mark instant
recording' in the menu Setup > Recording of the VDR should be
set to 'yes'.
- --svdrphost=<ip/hostname>
(default is 127.0.0.1)
- IP or hostname of a remote VDR for OSD messages
- --ac3reencode
- re-encode AC3 stream to fix low audio level of cut video on same devices
requires --cut use only if really needed, as this consumes significant CPU
resources
- --hwaccel=<hardware_acceleration_methode>
- use hardware acceleration for decoding all methods supported by FFmpeg
(ffmpeg -hide_banner -hwaccels) e.g.: vaapi, vdpau, vulkan, cuda ...
- --perftest
- run decoder performance test and compare software and hardware
decoder
- --vps
- use VPS events from markad.vps to optimize start and stop marks
- --svdrpport=<port>
( default is 6419 )
-
port of a remote VDR for OSD messages
- <cmd> one of:
- dummy parameter if called directly
nice runs markad directly and with
nice(19)after markad started by VDR after the recording is
complete
only used by markad plugin internal call, do not use it for command line
start
before markad started by VDR before the recording is
complete, only valid together with --online
only used by markad plugin internal call, do not use it for command line
start
edited markad started by VDR in edit function and exits
immediately
only used by markad plugin internal call, do not use it for command line
start
<record> is the name of the directory where the recording is
stored
- 0
- Successful program execution
- 1
- An non-recoverable error has been detected, markad has given up. See
stderr, syslog or log file in the recording directory for more information
