When viewing a recorded show, I’d find it very useful if I could view it’s length excluding the time for detected commercials.
Even if it was placed in brackets?
E.g. “60 min (45 min)”
Would still find this very useful. I’ve just gone to watch a recorded show, and wanted to know how long it is, so I know what time I’ll have completed watching it by. It says “78 mins” in Channels, but this includes the commercials which will be skipped automatically. So I’ve had to manually work out that the actual playing time is about 60 mins.
Don't know how hard that would be to implement, but it already does the calculation when you select Edit Commercials on a recording and gets dislpayed at the bottom. Most likely the calculation doesn't happen until you select edit and therefore isn't stored in the Channels DVR database.
And then if you actually edit and save, the times would change.
