Commercial skipping unreliable - jbrnd - 2014-01-16
Hi! I'm using the cmyth pvr client, version 1.9.13, with the latest Gotham builds (from January 2014) and it works fine, except for one thing: commercial skipping is a bit unreliable. In particular: if I play a recording, it'll skip the first commercial break as intended, but if I then seek backwards to just before the break, it'll play the commercials this time - just as if the break never existed.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? The MythTV backend is version 0.27. Also, the mythtv frontend doesn't do this when playing the same recording.
Or is this actually the intended behaviour?

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Edit_decision_list mentions how commercial skipping is designed. It sounds like what you are describing is by design to handle the potential issue of commercials being incorrectly flagged.

Ahh, I should've read that page more carefully. I guess commercial skipping may be working after all. Thank you!
