Comment:

 This is not a defect, it is by design to prevent false positives in areas
 where most commercial breaks are less than  7 minutes.  There is an
 undocumented setting that you can insert into your database to allow
 longer breaks to be detected.  The setting is CommDetectMaxCommBreakLength
 and defaults to 395 seconds (6 minutes, 35 seconds).  You can bump this up
 to 15 minutes and 10 seconds by inserting a new row into your settings
 table by running an SQL command similar to the following.  There is no way
 to edit this value through the GUI.

 insert settings ( value, data, hostname ) values (
 'CommDetectMaxCommBreakLength', 910, NULL);

 Next time please ask first on the mailing list (and don't reply on this
 ticket, trac isn't for discussion).
