[mythtv-users] Commercial Flagging after Transcode

Hi!

I'm having a problem trying to do commercial flagging on a transcode.
After a recording job runs, I have it run the commercial flagging and then
a custom script that transcodes the mpeg2 to a h.264 mpeg4 file.  You can
see the full script here....

In particular, I have a question about these two lines:

mythcommflag --chanid $CHANLID --starttime $STRTTIM --gencutlist
mythtranscode --chanid $CHANLID --starttime $STRTTIM --mpeg2 --honorcutlist
--outfile $MYTHDIR/$MPGFILE.tmp

When it runs these commands, does it export the mpeg2 file with the
commercials already removed?  Or, does it export the mpeg2 file as the
original and puts the cutlist in a file alongside the mpeg2 file?

Going through mythweb, I see the commercial flag for the recorded programs,
but when watching it through a Kodi frontend, I see no dialog recognizing
commercials.

Thanks in advanced!
