commercial skipping works with recorded shows that have been indexed for commercials by the myth tv backend. when you hit "play" on a recorded show, the script will check to see if you have any commercial marks in the myth backend database. if you have them, it will prompt you if you want to automatically skip commercials before starting playback. then while playing, when it realizes you've reached the start of a commercial break, it will pause the stream and fast forward to the point after the commercial. if you're not seeing the dialog before playback, then either the version of xbmc you have doesn't have the seektime(), gettime(), and gettotaltime() functions exposed in python or you don't have any commercial marks in the database.
