[mythtv-users] WAF Emergency - FFwd not working smoothly, Commercial skip being a LITTLE flakey.

[matt lutz]

Michael,
 I experienced the exact same ffwd/rwd problem for a while... I came upon a 
fix in the archives that was pretty peculiar, but it does work. Check to see 
if your /etc/localtime file is a link or an actual file. If it's a file, 
then delete it, link it with the proper file in /usr/share/zoneinfo 
directory. Use the following commands:
 rm /etc/localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT /etc/localtime
 obviously substitute the "EST5EDT" with whatever timezone you are actually 
in. I haven't been able to find why this works, but it definately does for 
me.
 As for the commercial skip... I have also noticed some incosistencies in 
what is a commercial and what is actual programming as well, and do not 
enable skipping anymore.
