Sweet - good for others to know as well

Yeah it's great - it's not 100% accurate but it's pretty damn good (I'd say about 90% of the time Comskip gets it right). Unfortunately when you click "skip" you have no way of knowing how far you've skipped - it used to show an OSD but something changed in 4TR or TV Server a while ago and now it doesn't I've asked for it to be re-instated a few times on the 4TR forum but I don't think anyone else is pushing for it so I don't know if it'll be sorted in a hurry. The way around it is to click Pause -> skip -> pause -> play (I keep meaning to programme my Harmony One remote to do it with one click..) that way you'll see the time when paused & time skipped to so if it jumps too far you know how far to "rewind". It's a bit fiddly but still much better than watching adds or skipping them manually (imo anyway)

[QUOTE="Bleazle, post: 677434, member: 53582"] Sweet - good for others to know as well :) Yeah it's great - it's not 100% accurate but it's pretty damn good (I'd say about 90% of the time Comskip gets it right).
