I wrote the commercial detection code in Myth and never even use Auto-Skip.
The current flagging code works probably 95% or more of the time on the
main shows my wife and I watch but I still don't use Auto-Skip. The only
Myth auto-skips is when I create a cutlist from the commercial flagging
markers and make sure they're right. Part of the reason is probably that
I like to see when it goes wrong so I can try to think of why and fix it,
and when it does get it right, I sometimes turn to my wife and say
"Perfect Skip!"
I started out with "auto-skip" on, and I'll agree that it's
generally a rather large factor more irritating to try to undo a bad skip
than to just manually skip forward. I have noticed some issues regarding
the fine-control of beginning/ending of a commercial block (when there are
very short commercial snippets). In general, it works very well.... great
as a 90% correct start for manually adjusting cutpoints. Now, if only
lossless MPEG2 cutting worked so "Cutting" wasn't synonymous with
"Transcode to MPEG4"... :)
