I'm running with "strict commercial detection" and things are working
about the same as with 0.20, that is it's finding 90-95% of the
commercials on most channels. Some channels are more of a problem than
others. The most successful channels are the ones where the breaks are
highly formulaic - always coming back with a rating and/or a cc logo.
The biggest problems are live shows without such cues.
George's advice about checking the DB is good, but since it seems to
be working OK on your pre-upgrade programs I'd try his second
suggestion about running commflag manually with high verbosity.
