[mythtv-users] How well does commercial detection work?

If you use the same instructions I gave the others earlier in this thread
and email me (privately) the debug output, it might help me find and fix this.

On second thought, something looks plain weird about this output anyway.  The
output is all weird.  Have you done a "make distclean" lately?  If not, can
you do that then remake and rerun flagging and see if you get the same
results.
