[Feature Request] Janbar, you recently created a new preference to ask (when EDL is detected in a program) whether the user wants commercial skipping activated for the specific program. If the answer is 'no', the EDL is not loaded.

The purpose of the change was to deal with EDLs that have not accurately marked commercials and therefore cause the PVR to skip over program content. I have a suggestion that, I think, would have added utility: A preference that loads the EDL, but does not automatically skip when it finds a commercial break.

In this scenario, if an EDL is loaded, the user can still press the up button during a commercial break to skip to the next mark (which should be the end of the commercial). The user also has the choice to press right to skip ahead in smaller increments, or do nothing. This would be particularly useful in circumstances that I find pretty common, where ads are marked correctly for most of a show, but the bit after the last ad is treated like another ad, and skipped over.

The proposed change (loading the EDL but not skipping automatically) would provide additional utility and flexibility.

Now EDLs skip are handle by xbmc player. Addon transfers only the list of cuts. It could be a new feature for kodi I...
