Well, at risk of being wrong again, I want to retract this statement.
I did some more testing, and yes I can load the commercial cutlist (at
least as far as it's gotten) while its still recording, and it will
skip those commercials. However, as the recording progresses and more
commercials are detected, those additional commercials don't seem to
get loaded unless I manually reload the cutlist every time a new
commercial is found. From the explanation of the COMMFLAG_UPDATE
messages, I had the impression the commercials would automatically be
added while you are still playing back. I just don't see that
happening.

All of this is done. I can even go into the mythweb "Backend Status"
page and see that commercial flagging for a show is 50% when the
program is half finished recording, so the flagging is active and has
caught up to live tv time.

Even though you (Chris) said it had nothing to do with the
automatically skip commercials setting, I tried turning it on anyway
and that didn't help either.

Any ideas?
