Multiple PIDs cause commercial skipping not to work - possible solution in attached files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running the triggered script

What is the expected output? 
Commercials are marked.

What do you see instead?
No commercials are marked and the log file says Multiple PIDs found. Whilst you 
can specify a 
PID for comskip (and one of the identified PIDs does mark the commercials 
correctly) there is no 
way in the current version of MarkCommercials to specify a PID.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.3-10.6 on MacOS X 10.6

Please provide any additional information below.
I have modified MarkCommercials.py to allow for specifying the PID. 
Additionally there are two 
triggered scripts to support this. RecordingStarted.scpt runs the 
MarkCommercials normally, 
RecordingDone.scpt checks if multiple PIDs are present and reruns 
MarkCommercials for a 
specific PID.

Can this be included in a new release of etv-comskip?

I am still unable to get this to work, and all of the bugfixes for the "No 
video pid found return from "comskip": 3" dont seem to answer the question.

I have the most current comskip from this location, running eyetv 3.5.x 
(whatever the most current is) and osx server 10.6.4

can someone point me in the right direction if this can work, if its not 
possible, I wont waste any time trying to make it work.

thanks!

we've been using the latest comskip (with the new Wine thingy), but it's as 
incosistent/unreliable as the older/Leopard version - it runs OK, but marking 
of commercials is horribly hit n miss. problem is I have no other system to 
compare it with to know if it's a quirk of the Australian TV networks, or 
something 'closer to home'.  great when it works, but that's about 10-12% of 
the time, on a per-commercial-break basis.
