This can be used to run comskip on recordings as they are made, so that commercial breaks are skipped transparently. The mediaportal TV backend does this quite simply.
The only complication I can see is that when recordings are moved between folders the *.edl files that contain the locations of commercials would need to be moved with them. perhaps moving all files with the same name but different extensions would fix this? Even without that, I think you can set up comskip to keep all the commercial files in a central location.
I use MCEBuddy to accomplish this, after the recordings have finished of course, which creates a delay/wait time between the ability to watch with or without commercials. This would be a great feature, right along side transcoding but would seem to greatly change the nature of ServerWMC into something much bigger.
