Commercial Detection Experiences

We are testing a new commercial detector which works on many streaming channels like TVE and Pluto

BETA: Smart Commercial Detection for TVE & Pluto

With v2021.12.22.0148 we are testing a new smarter commercial detector, which works on some streaming channels. Instead of using comskip to scan video, this new detector uses a more traditional approach similar to how Pi-hole works. We can detect patterns on some channels where the advertising content comes from a different place. I have tested this with some Discovery channels on TVE, and some of the channels on Pluto. Share your own experiences below. Log output for traditional comskip: 2…

When I go to watch a show on one of the apps, I can see on the timeline that the detected commercials are wrong. I would like an option in the app, to remove or ignore the detected commercials for that particular show.

You could use the edit commercials option on the web UI or iOS app

I know, but I am not usually in front of a computer and I am watching on a FireTV. It would be easier to remove/ignore the detected commercials from the app.
