Apologies for my previous, incorrect response!
It appears this is indeed possible.
You just need to fulfill a few prerequisites:
- The server software version needs to be >= 1.21.2.3939
- The server which shall do the ad-detection needs to have a DVR set up.
- ad-detection needs to be enabled in the DVR’s settings
(I recommend “detect commecials and mark for skip” to prevent issues with A/V synchronicity after cutting the ads) - Then you need to edit the library(s), where the items in question are stored. Go to the ‘Advanced’ tab, scroll all the way down and enable
Ad detection=for all items
(This option is only visible after ad-detection has been enabled in the preferences of the DVR!) - Now an ad-detection is performed when you perform a manual “Analyze” on any item in the library
