[QUOTE="sccrgoalie1, post: 1030557, member: 143879"] Sure, there are two main changes with the release of this patch. 1. If you start watching a show that is currently recording, Media Portal now has the ability to keep reloading the commercial jump points while you are watching. This means, for example, you can start an hour show 15 minutes in and never see any commercials. 2. Previously you had to be watching a show right to the jump point. If you accidentally skipped over a jumped point the commercial segment would not be skipped. Now Media Portal considers the entire commercial span (eg. from 1 min - 2 minute). If I end up at any point between 1 and 2 minutes the commercial skip will automatically happen (if enabled). Along with this comes two new actions that can be assigned to buttons. First is an action to toggle automatic commercial skip while watching a show. This allows you to turn off the auto commercial skip just for a single show if it's not working right. The second is an action to jump back to the previous skip point. This allows you to skip back to the point at which you were last skipped automatically (this is great if a commercial segment is slightly misidentified). These two actions should be used together because before you skip back to the previous jump point you need to turn off auto commercial skipping otherwise it will just do the skip again. Hopefully, that helps. If not, please let me know what's unclear. [/QUOTE]
