[mythtv-users] Erratic commercial flagging results in 0.24

Hello,

Ever since I upgraded to 0.24, I have been getting worse commercial 
flagging results than I've been getting in 0.23, which were very good.

As an example, a recent recording of MythBusters, after letting it 
automatically flag commercials for me, I run mythcommflag with 
--getskiplist, I get this:

Commercial Skip List: 35325-42852,108393-121928,141759-152583,184608-194047

If I then run mythcommflag on that recording, and then --getskiplist 
afterwards, I get this:

Commercial Skip List: 84431-88975,108413-121927,142663-152579,185922-194046

Now it completely missed the first set of commercials, but now it picked 
up the second set of commercials, that were missed in the first run.

Now I start commercial flagging from the UI, to see if that makes a 
difference.  After it completes, I again do --getskiplist:

Commercial Skip List: 35324-43772,110210-121928,141760-152583,184608-194050

Pretty similar to the first results, where it missed the second 
commercial break entirely.

I ran it one more time from the command line, and now I get:

Commercial Skip List: 
35324-43772,74235-88975,108388-121929,141756-152584,185024-194045

So obviously it gets different results each time it is run.  I don't 
recall this happening with 0.23.  Is anyone else experiencing anything 
like this?

Thanks!
