How about something like this?  Ideally a different colour or a lighter green between markers would be nice but just the markers alone would go a long way!!

Thanks for considering!!!

Something like that yes. But I don't care for the markers being "taller" than the actual progress bar. I think they would look slicker if they stay "inside" the progress bar.

Totally agree tzr916.  And I'm sure you will also agree that whatever is the easiest thing to implement no matter how it looks is what counts.

Any advancements on this? Not having the ability to see and have control over edl files is a real burden as they will never be perfect... Couldn't watch the end of a show because of it...

Maybe I should explain this a little more....
Despite not being able to view comskip or toggle it on/off (AFAIK anyway)...
Commerical Skipping is working fine in MC.

Ususally if i'm not sure about comskip accuracy I just rewind or skip back and it will play through commercials (as it should.)

However in this case since the part I wanted to watch was right at the end of the show there was no way for me to go to the end and rewind to watch the last part...

It has nothing to do with toggling comskip on/off. Once comskip has scanned the video and created the edl, it is done. Then when you are playing back the video, MC uses the skip points in that edl.

It would be GREAT if we could toggle on/off MC's usage of the edl file in real time during playback. But since we can't toggle it off at all, the only choice is to open the edl file in a text editor and manually delete the "bad" skip points then save it (before you play the video in MC). The problem with that is, we can't even see the skip points in MC timeline so we don't have any way to know which skip points are "bad".

Not sure what you're saying here and I know how comskip works.  What I'm trying to say is the only way I found to partly disable comskip is to skip back after an edl cut and it will play through the commercial. This can't work at the end of a show.

Couldn't agree more... the toggle on/off could be active for a few seconds on the hit of a button so that it lets you go through just that one edl cut in real time.  And yes we would need markers and/or lighter green for visibility.  
Messing around with the edl file is too time consuming and not worth it for me.

Blessing in disguise: I grew tired of waiting, so I have been fine tuning comskip and have improved commercial cut points tremendously. I almost never have to touch the remote now. The requested JR commercial skip feature changes are no longer at the top of my list, but would still be a very nice addition.

@tzr916 -
Care to share your comskip ini?  I've got a tweaked version that works pretty well for me on OTA TV, but I'm always looking for improvements.  I will post what I am using later today.

Thanks

Attached comskip.txt (ini)

Keep in mind that I record one minute early and two minutes late. I have set comskip to ignore/do not process first and last few minutes which helps preserve the beginnings and especially the ends of shows. Also, I have never actually learned how to "tune" comskip, all I really do is manually tweak some of the ini settings here and there.

I like the idea of ignoring the beginning and end. I may use that.
But i would warning people to be careful using others peoples ini.
The defaults are not bad . So it's usually better to just change one things at a time.
