I'm sorry, I completely forgot to thank you for your response.

Hi Dan,
Are you trying the play with alternative player while you're in the TV
menu? If so I've seen this and it seems to be a bug, it doesn't behave
as expected but I haven't got around to looking at it and filing a bug
report, maybe you can?
If you go into the 'watch a video' menu and access your recorded show
through that then the 'play with alternate player' choice you make
should work. Check the log files to confirm which player freevo is calling.

Thank you for your explanation of the edl file!
It appears the problem is with Freevo. The edl file is created
correctly by the commserver, and works as expected on command line.
However, when I select "Play with Alternative Player" and select
"Mplayer," it ignores the edl file.

The encoding server is not needed by the commdetect server.
You are right, the commdetect server just scan the video for black
frames and create an EDL file which is used by mplayer to skip specific
parts of the video. Check the mplayer documentation for more infos on
EDL files.
I don't know if it works with xine too.
Anyway, as any other "server" helper scripts, you have to run the
commdetect server before you launch the main freevo application, by
issuing the following command:
freevo commdetectserver --daemon
the same applies to the encoding server, if you need it:
freevo encodingserver --daemon
You can get a list of the helper script available, running:
freevo --help
Cheers,
