[mythtv-users] Commercial detection and PVR-250?

[Chris Pinkham]

It only skips if you tell it to and there's only 2 ways to do that.

1) turn on auto-skip in the setup
2) hit the 'Z' (forward) or 'Q' (backward) skip key(s) during playback.

So yes, you can mark but not skip commercials since you have to tell
it to skip to begin with.  To edit them, just go into the editor and
hit 'Z' to copy the commercial break list into the cutlist or 'C' to
clear the cutlist if you want to (I really should remap that to some other
key I guess, maybe 'Q' would make sense).
