comskip: video pid not found

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
- run the script

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- a video with commercials marked

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- Version 1.0.3 for EyeTV3 for 10.5
- Mac OS X 10.5.6 (9G55)
- EyeTV 3.1 (4513)
- Pinnacle TV for Mac HD mini Stick (80e)

I have HD recordings (I don't record SD) that are not being marked with
commercials. I keep getting error messages about video PIDs not being found.

According to mplayer -identify <file>, I am getting MPEG-TS files from EyeTV.

Based on what I've been reading all day about this, I think the error(s)
may have something to do with the included version of comskip. The version
that comes with etv-comskip is 0.79.126. There is a new version out
0.80.010 (http://www.kaashoek.com/files/readme.txt).

comskip Error Messages:
    Video PID not found, available video PID's 

    0 frames decoded in 0.00 seconds (0.00 fps)

comskip Error Messages (verbose 10):
    Video PID not found, available video PID's 

    Parsed 0 video frames and 0 audio frames of 25.00 fps

Has any effort been made to update etv-comskip with a version of comskip that 
corrects the PID not found 
errors? The current version of comskip is 0.80.030 and the source can be found 
here. svn://svn.kaashoek.com/comskip

I checked-out the source and I see that the Mac specific code for generating a 
plist is in the trunk. Is it just a 
matter of compiling it and replacing the binary at /Library/Application\ 
Support/ETVComskip/MarkCommercials.app/Contents/Resources/comskip?
