I haven't figured out why the minimum length is still not being honoured

right in the beginning of the show!!

I could also mention Jeopardy!. Commercial detection is flawless for my

the end of the commercial break before Final Jeopardy. So my wife and
I have to remember to NOT skip that break, or we end up at the end of
the show.

to see the mythcommflag.out.bz2 file). :) This should be fixed in
current CVS, can you update and reflag this show to see if it does it
correctly now?

I just committed a patch to CVS to disable skipping when the last commercial

It's also a little annoying when the commercials are incorrectly marked
and pressing forward skips some random large value, there is no easy way
to go back because where you jumped from wasn't a marked point. So you
have to just manually skip back to the correct place

You're probably better off using the new All method.
