> @EricV - fair points, maybe I'm behind with some software. I'd need to find a media player that understands the timecodes in a .ts file, then, since VLC doesn't - maybe mplayer or MPC would fare better and allow me to find the adverts in the first place.
Vlc on linux understand time code AFAIKT. I personnaly used smplayer (gui for mplayer)
>As I said, I had so many errors in the .ts stream that mkvmerge (while it understood .ts) couldn't parse it properly, so I surrendered - .mkv works for me and I've seen no benefit to changing, unless I change my backend.
Recent version (5.8.0) works fine for me although I must say I still use my own version of tvheadend for TS recording... Some bugs related to mkw recoding make me still worry about using the new 3.x code.
