Temporarily Disable Comskip "Auto Skip Commercials"

[LewE]

I have Comskip configured to run after each program is recorded and GBPVR to automatically skip past commercials when playing back recorded programs.

Occasionally, Comskip will incorrectly mark program material as commercials so during playback it is skipped over. Currently, the only way to be able to see that portion of the program is to stop playing back the recording, run CONFIG (assuming that no programs are being recorded at the time) and uncheck "Auto Skip Commercials" on the Misc Tab, and then go back to PVRX2 to watch the recording, and then after watching the program go back to CONFIG and set the Auto SKip Commercials parameter.

It would be nice to be able to disable this parameter setting during playback so if, when playing back a recording it is apparent that Comskip was overly aggressive in its processing, the user could click on an option to not skip commercials during the playback of the current recording but still be in effect for any subsequent recorded programs you watch.

Thanks. That did exactly what I wanted.

Talk about your undocumented features.... That really ought to be put into the documentation wiki for others to be able to use this.

PM bladder_se for access to the wiki. In the meantime I've added a note which might save a forum search in future.
