Hey everyone... still trying to iron out the last few wrinkles of my setup and I'm more and more pleased each day. Here's something that's confusing me though...
How does the commercial skipping work? I have NextPVR as the backend with Comskip setup and commercials seem to skip just fine from there. However, if I watch the same TV show in Kodi (Helix), no commercials are skipped. Is there a setting I need to turn on somewhere in Kodi to allow this?
The more I read on this subject, the more confused I get. It seems like Kodi supports EDL files out-of-the-box, but then I come across this Wiki article (Edit_decision_list (wiki)) that makes me even more confused. According to that, commercial skipping is broken in Gotham (not sure if this also means Helix as well), but you can use Comskip EDL text files for now. I see that NextPVR is automatically creating both types of files (EDL and TXT), so should Kodi then just work and if so, what might I be doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
