So I can test this out, I think I need a better understanding of the
cut/skip list.

If I take a recording that had the commercial flagging set to ON, then I
use mythutil to look at the skiplist and cutlist, I see the following:
jim at Office-PC:~$ mythutil --getskiplist --chanid 16205 --starttime
20221015000000 -q
Commercial Skip List:
10144-14708,42191-45823,60263-67063,83399-88073,104851-108999
jim at Office-PC:~$ mythutil --getcutlist --chanid 16205 --starttime
20221015000000 -q
Cutlist:
jim at Office-PC:~$

So the commercial flagging generates a Skip List and stores that in the
database.  The cutlist is generated when I use the mythfrontend edit
feature and using the menu, load the flagged commercials, fix them manually
and then save that to a cut list.

Do I understand this correctly?
