Multiple servers shared library commercial skip question

Im pretty sure the answer to my question is no.... However I thought I would ask any of y'all who run multiple servers.
I created a seperate docker instance for my elderly mother. Im sharing my movie library from my main server and have restrictions so she cant delete anything. That all works great.. The issue is I have manually verified all of the commercials for my movie library.

Is there a way to have the server that is sharing a recorded movie library from another server take advantage of manually verified commercial skip? (2nd server has the 1st servers directory setup as imported)

Its not a huge deal if the answer is no, she can FF through them if necessary.

If they're being imported on the second server (Mom's) from the first (yours), make sure you have .edl files generated beside each movie on your server. Local content importing will use the .edl file.

Pretty sure if you just turn that option on, it will create the .edl files even for existing media.

I "think" if you hadn't created .edl files and you already imported, after creating the .edl files you probably have to refresh metadata on all the imported media on the server that's importing them.

I agree. I believe the EDL option will satisfy your request. However, I think this only applies to content recorded by Channels itself (as far as commercial verification is concerned; EDLs will be honored regardless of source. Also, EDLs with be kept up to date with changes to commercial verification.)
