I record from Australian DVB-TV broadcasts which are MPEG2. Automatic
commercial detection doesn't work very well on Aussie broadcasts so I won't
use that part. I'm interested in using Plex as a way to watch MythTV on a
mobile device. If the recordings aren't transcoded and left in their native
MPEG2 format, does Plex allow you to skip forwards and backwards? If not
then I think I'll want to find another solution - skipping is a must-have
for me.
