So this is why, when playing back a recording that's being realtime
commflagged, it always takes up to five seconds or so before the
commercial-skip list is loaded and the skip keys work! Perhaps this is
asking too much of a good thing, but could this signaling process be
made to occur immediately upon the start of playback so that any
commercials seen (typically the ones that come before the actual start
of the recording) can be immediately skipped?
