I was wanting to verify at what framesPlayed it was actually performing
the skip and what framesPlayed was after the skip.  Possibly also what
commBreakIter.key() and .data() were before and after
AutoCommercialSkip(); was called around line 2094 in NVP as well.

Just put the existing AutoCommercialSkip(); inside a block and put a
couple cerr's before and after it to print out the above values and
see how they compare to what you're seeing in the editor.  See if it
looks like it skipped at the right frame number or if maybe it thinks
it's skipping at the right frame but the skip doesn't line up with the
frame numbers you see while in the editor.
