PR #11008 – Disable Prompting for Auto-Skip

Stemming from this: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=…id=2464246

I found on my RPi2, the prompts for auto-skip were actually killing the playback. My screen would black out for five seconds, I’m not sure if it was trying to change resolutions or something. Then it would only come back the moment the commercial skip engaged.

For others, this prompt is just an annoyance to an already, mostly, seamless video playback experience.

I just wanted the ability to disable this and so I have made an advanced setting boolean (promptskipcommercials) which is defaulted to true (the current Kodi v17 experience). Setting to false simply disables the notification and allows the m_SkipCommercials boolean to take over.

I am unable to test this as my build environment does not build properly for LibreELEC and so I have nothing to test on.
