I was watching today when I noticed the same commercial play twice in a row. I checked the schedule to see if they had been scheduled and they hadn't. The next commercial up was a music video, so it left a bit of a gap in playback until i restarted the channel.

That is interesting. I'm not sure if it's related but I've had an issue over the past few days where when the pseudo-channel runs its nightly update, but it doesn't clear out the previous day...so I end up with twice as many entries. The effect of this is that the schedule gets wacky and you have all your entries from last night + today. Seems different than the issue you're presenting but wanted to bring it up.

I have a feeling that some fixes I made in the "custom-section-names" branch fixed other things, like this issue.
