There's no way to do this with mythcommflag, it isn't setup to flag
external files that Myth doesn't know about.

This command line tells Myth you want to build a seektable in the
filemarkup table so you can play the video file using Myth's internal
player, it doesn't do any flagging of commercials at all.
