Hi FernetMenta and all!
A very happy VNSI4 alpha user here. Thanks for all the great work.
I was wondering if EDL support (i.e. using commercial marks created by noad vdr-plugin in XBMC) is anywhere on the horizon for VNSI?
Thank you!

We have discussed this already in the team. It requires a change of the pvr api which also lacks support for displaying timeshift buffer states. It's on the list but there are a couple of things like broken audio engine with higher priority.

Great! Looking forward to it.
After playing with the XVDR's implementation a bit, I have a few ideas/suggestions:
VNSI should create "commercial break"-type scene marks. XVDR creates "cut"-type marks, and that means that the marked part of the video is simply inaccessible - which can give you a problem if the commercial detection algorithm made an error - which happens often
This is probably not a function that the PVR-plugin should take care of, but it would be great if there was a notification (a popup, on-screen text etc.) when a skip happens. Also, I like the MythTV's frontend functionality on only notifying the user (by a popup) that a commercial break has started (not skipping over it), and you can then press a button to skip to the end manually.
Let me know if you need any help with definition or testing or...

the api change for timeshift will be merged the coming days into pvr. then I will change the vnsi protocol and include EDL support.
