Is there any work on this?
Not sure if there is any work on this (guessing no) but this is what I know. There is a function in libcmyth called "get_commbreaklist". https://raw.github.com/fetzerch/xbmc-pvr...th/cmyth.h
In the XBMC MythFile.cpp (https://raw.github.com/xbmc/xbmc/master/...thFile.cpp) file this function is used to get a comm break list and pass it back along to XBMC. To my knowledge XBMC will accept an 'on the fly' type cut list. I don't know what it will take to modify the addon to use any of these features but according to this wiki entry (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Edi...ist#MythTV) the built in myth support should try and load these lists, so it should be possible for the addon to do it as well.
Looking through these threads it seems the developers are tracking down other issues at the moment but I'm sure this will hit the feature list eventually. One big question would be if the PVR API has support for EDL lists at the moment? If not they'd have to be added upstream before the client could do anything.
