Comskip & seek combined

I don't know if this has requested before, but if comskip is enabled, I think it would be nice if a user asked to skip into a commercial which results with with an immediate skip to the time past the commercial, that NPVR would jump directly to the commercial end point.

Isn't that the way it used to work in GBPVR?

It might be more a PCH thing, on the PC it's faster and harder to tell what's happening on GBPVR or NPVR.

I assume that you mean for an instance where autoskip past commercials has been disabled since that is the only way you should be going "into" a commercial.

I have found that the only times when autoskip is enabled that skip doesn't get you past the commercial is if I had been doing a bunch of skip BACKs to go back in time. Then, the program often gets confused and doesn't skip past the commercial.

In case it makes any difference to you, I view programs on my television via output by an eGreat.

On my PCH, it will jump into a commercial break and then when it starts playing it will then jump to the end of commercial. Autoskip is on.
