Replace my comskip.ini file

[jtashiro]

Hi @eric , I'm editing commercials and want to know where/how to override the comskip entries that channels is using, compared to other parameters I'd like to experiment with. I can't seem to locate where I can place a comskip.ini file to override the defaults channels is using. Really am liking channels as a Tivo replacement ... channel skip is spotty however.
