There is a PVR API call that the addon has to support to pass the edl file from the host to Kodi. 

The 18.4 issue can likely be tested from the Video Library I am not seeing it working on a Windows client.

The failure to read .edl files is not a new issue. It happened when 17 was first released as well and I opened a bug ticket and it was resolved.
With that failure (17) playing the video from the video library WOULD skip the commercials and only playing the recordings would fail.
In this case (18.4) I have just tested it and confirmed that it is NOT working in either the recordings playback OR the video library playback.
