Hi,
    By looking at the code inside ClassicCommDetector.cpp I found an
(apparently) undocumented setting, "CommDetectMaxCommBreakLength", with a
default value of 395s (6 min and a half). As this matched the maximum skip
jump I as observing, I set this value to 900 (15 min) and commercial
skipping is working realy finer now... :D

I still haven't tried CommDetector2, but I didn't found any "maximum skip"
setting for it, so probably for this reason it's working better for you than
classical.

Best regards,
  Eduard
