Non-destructive commercial skip option based on intro skip feature

Instead of destructively removing the commercials as is, potentially removing non-commercial media content, have an alternative option to detect the commercials, but just skip over them, like with the skip intro feature. This way if it’s wrong, the user can still skip ahead, or more importantly, skip back to the desired content.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).

Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
