Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

In podcasts the server should be able to detect ads (using AI) and automatically cut them from the file.

Why would this be helpful?

No more BetterHelp or Mailchimp ads. More listening to the real stuff

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I'm not sure.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.9

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

No response

This is outside the scope of ABS and would fit more under as a third party tool or service that provides an RSS feed or edits your files.

Yeah this is outside the scope of the project. #2203 would be the closest feature still in the "maybe" category of whether it will be added or not.

I was interested in this as well for ABS and came across this thread this morning.

I ended up writing a simple tool that monitors a directory for MP3 files and removes ads from them. It uses the OpenAI API to do this, but it wouldn't be too hard to swap out a self hosted model if you prefer.

Posting here in case other people come across this thread as well.
