Since Risto Treksler's patch ( http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/6308
), the commercial flagging and cutlist information is taken into account
when generating previews.
For those who use commflagging, it's a completely unnecessary setting.
Those who don't use commflagging can either specify a cutlist or simply
set a bookmark with the PreviewFromBookmark enabled...
Generate preview image from a bookmark if possible
If enabled, MythTV will ignore the above time offset, and use the
bookmark inside the recording as the offset for creating a thumbnail
image. As with the above, MythTV will honour cutlists and increase this
offset if necessary.
And, BTW, is PreviewFromBookmark really necessary, anymore? Why not
just make it always true?
