I have a hard time even seeing the value of sharing this data. Cutlists
are quite dependent on pre/post-roll, local commerical segments and many
other factors making it a losing battle to even collect valid
information and then, for what? My commercial detection generates a
near perfect cut/skip-list for me within an hour of the completion of
the recording and I rarely have anything in my watch list for more than
days before it is watched and deleted.
Just seems much ado about nothing to me...
