	With edl_skip_field=3 , the full video file is visible, but ~~Kdoi~~ will skip the marked commercials the first time it attempts to play them. If, after commercials are skipped, you skip back through the recording (into a commercial area), you can then watch the video that was marked as a commercial.

Since commercial detection is rarely 100% accurate, commercial breaks that have already been skipped can be re-entered by seeking backwards or rewinding. Note: Scene Markers are placed at the start and end of each commercial break so you can easily jump between the start and end of commbreaks using Scene Marker's builtin actions ('''NextScene''' and '''PreviousScene''')
