commercial skipping (17 RC4)

it looks like commercial skipping is completely broken now, even worse than before? is that everybody’s experience? I were trying to work out why it seems to now skip to the wrong places and haven’t had anything good happen.
on the local machine it seems to skip the the wrong place
on another remote machine I had Kodi freeze for a couple of minutes, perhaps related when running from the file explorer. it then eventual skipped to the wrong place
on the same remote machiene it did not seem to skip at all when using the recorded TV area (this is a mediaportal PVR so the .edl files shroud be available)
I think I read some other post vaguely related to having similar problems.

hopefully I can go back to 16, it seemed to work a lot better. there seems to be some much wrong with the commercial skipping I’m not sure where to start, need some logs? or do other people have the same issues?

is there a way to disable commercial skipping without having to delete each and every .edl file, it is currently worse than nothing

is there some sort of a message before it skips, I’ve seen something and I’m not sure what it is.
