This could be a good fall-back mechanism above and beyond the auto mechanism, so after once watching the program, you could be good-to-go for future (might help a lot with precision if you are archiving after watching for example).<br><br>-devsk<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: ICMan <icman@eol.ca><br>To: Discussion about mythtv <mythtv-users@mythtv.org><br>Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 10:40:22 AM<br>Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Daddy, what's a commercial<br><br><div>Mark A.

Highlander is an example of this problem. But the show is<br>Smallville. The cut points are in the wrong spots, truncating parts of<br>the show, and the autoskip IS working for this program. So, when the<br>program cuts off part of the program on the forward skip, I press the Q<br>button to back up, and it finishes showing the program up to the<br>commercial, but then doesn't skip
forward. When I skip forward using Z,<br>there are parts of the program after the commercials that are skipped<br>over, so I have to repeatedly hit the 5-sec back key to find the end of<br>the commercial break.<br><br>How do you manually edit cut points to programs?<br><br>S<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br>mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br><a target="_blank" href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</a><br></div></div><br></div></div><br>
