Set the player command for files with the appropriate extension to 
"Internal" (no quotes).

That's a whole other matter.  Commercial skip is only set up to work 
with MythTV recordings--not on MythVideo videos.  Therefore, you'll have 
to import the show into MythTV's recordings (see 
contrib/myth.rebuilddatabase.pl) then run mythcommflag to rebuild the 
seektable and then run mythcommflag to mark commercials ("mythcommflag 
--help").
