</div>Live sports is probably a "worst case" for commercial detection. Breaks tend to be unpredictable and not always according<br>
to a set format. Things like the CC or rating logo are often missing, and the timing of blocks is sometimes not a multiple<br>
of 15 seconds.<br>
<br>
That's why Myth offers "Plan B", simple skipping forward.<br>
