IIRC, mythtv had a feature built-in that skips ads automagically. Maybe a plugin could be written for VDR which provides the same function. Would be very cool and resolve the problem with seeking h264 recordings where the still frame will remain unchanged for several seconds and by the time it does change, its seeked several minutes. So with h264 ffw/rew you either seek no where or too far. It's pretty bad unfortunately.
There is a package called noad for vdr which makes the marks on where the adverts start/stop. you just need to press skip to jump to the next mark while playing or you can enable it in vdr to automatically jump. This is of course a patch that enables this feature.
I'll gladly give it a try but the only url I found for noad just goes to some apache page. Do you have a current url or even hg/git address?
