I am trying to integrate/customize myth TV PVR frontend addon to my new Kodi/Openelec. This is my first experience with Kodi, although I have been with mythbuntu for about 5 years now. I am trying to get EDL skipping to my liking. I want first and last 10sec of the of commercial to play at each cut-point. I followed the instructions on kodi twiki and created an advancesettings.xml. However, it does not seem to have any effect. I must be doing something wrong and I do not know what it is. My advance setting file is below
<advancedsettings>
<edl>
<!-- if true, commercial breaks will be merged according to the remaining options. -->
<mergeshortcommbreaks>true</mergeshortcommbreaks>
<!-- Commercial breaks won't be merged if the total length of the commercial break would be greater than this (seconds) -->
<maxcommbreaklength>250</maxcommbreaklength>
<!-- After merging, commercial breaks shorter than this will be removed (seconds) -->
<mincommbreaklength>90</mincommbreaklength>
<!-- Commercial breaks that are further apart than this won't be merged (seconds) -->
<maxcommbreakgap>120</maxcommbreakgap>
<!-- How long to wait before automatically skipping when the start of a commercial break reached (seconds) -->
<commbreakautowait>20</commbreakautowait>
<!-- How long to rewind after automatically skipping to the end of the commercial break (seconds) -->
<commbreakautowind>20</commbreakautowind>
</edl>
</advancedsettings>
I have the latest version downloaded from openelec (I believe v6.0) a month or so ago. I have NUC5PPYH and running openelec off a USB stick.
I also have one other issue. TV menu does not initialize even when my backend is on. I have to disable and enable PVR addon and everything comes back alive. This is less of a problem as I can do this once a day and it will be fine.
