Comskip Chapters

[dgeezer]

I would love to see the same comskip functionality that currently exists in SageTV. Well actually in JREkiwi's Comskip Playback plugin for sagetv since sage has no native support for comskip.

When you press the right arrow key (adjacent to OK) the timeline appears and you are taken to the end of the next commercial segment and the recording continues playing from there. The left arrow takes you to the previous commercial skip point. This divides the show into chapters that are easily accessible. Also, if comskip thinks that a section in the middle of a commercial segment is part of the show, this is the easiest way to jump to the end of the commercial break. It took me month's to teach my wife and daughter to use this in sagetv, there's going to be a bunch of griping if I tell them that it doesn't work this way any more.:eek:

whats wrong with just pressing play to go to the end of that commercial break

Oh. I didn't know, until now, about that..... Thanks.
However, the "chapter" skipping would still be a nice addition. Pressing Play won't allow the wife to jump from the middle of a bad American Idol performance to the start of the next segment.

I can see this would be a handy feature - left and right arrows to between comskips

I don't use comskip but I would love to use the left/right keys to move to larger fixed time segments,, then I do with relative skipping. My STB-PVR has this and it is handy.
