Janbar, A feature that I think would be awesome would be an option to have a 3-5 second count down in an xbmc notification before a commercial skip. Would that even be possible to implement easily? (I don't know if you have any kind of advance notice in the code of when a commercial skip is about to happen?) If so, would it be something you'd be interested in adding to the addon?
The reason I would find it useful is as I'm sure you know, mythtv comskip isn't 100% reliable and I'm frequently doing 2+ things at a time. When a commercial is about to come up, I have to focus on the TV and wait to see if it skips then return to whatever I was doing before if it does, or start hitting +30 seconds if it doesn't. If I don't, I usually realize half way through the commercials that they are playing. It would be nice if I could just glance up and see that a comskip is going to happen as whatever show is about to go to break.
