[mythtv] [PATCH] Preview images - skip commercial breaks - updated

[Risto Treksler]

HI,

Some updates and fixes to the commercial skip for preview images code.

MYTHWEB
-------------
-make it actually work ;) 
      - turns out the images were actually being updated by the frontend
      - this is fixed now - mythweb updates images on backends now
      - sorry for the confusion - if any
-make the patch apply to current CVS

MYTHTV
----------
-make the "preview from bookmark" option take the preview from a bookmark
 even if the bookmark is inside a "commercial"
 (comm flagging was wrong often enough for this to be a problem :( )
