Commercial skipping (comskip) in MyTV (1 Viewer)

Summary: Skipping commercials should also work in MyTV, not just in MyVideos.

Description: Currently in MediaPortal 1.0, skipping commercials only works when watching recordings through MyVideos. It doesn't work if you watch your recording through MyTV. This is counter-intuitive. It would be great if commercial skipping could also be activated in MyTV. I believe this used to work in previous versions of MediaPortal, before 1.0.

It works in My TV, too ...

Is this singleseat or multiseat.

It definitely does work singleseat.

As always supply logs, set MP to debug mode in config.

apparently not so obvious

My bad, I thought I was stating an obvious point. In the manual page for Comskip there's a mention about MyVideos and MyTV and I found a post in the forum also, confirming someone had to use MyVideos recently. In my personal setup (single seat) there's also no commercial skipping available in MyTV, automatic nor manual.

I'll check out the problem further, see if there's any way to fix it.

The default comskip ini is not that great, ie not aggressive enough, try this one and see, just rename comskipold

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give your comskip.ini a try.
