Feature idea: Automatically retry a video when an unskippable ad appears

[ryleyfromoceanplanet4546B]

Hi! I recently installed iSponsorBlockTV and I really like the project. I had an idea based on something I sometimes do manually on the official YouTube TV app.

When I start a video and YouTube shows a long unskippable ad, I sometimes press Back, exit the video, and then open the same video again. Sometimes I repeat this once or twice.

Interestingly, this can be faster than waiting for the Skip Ad button to appear—or waiting through a 30–60 second unskippable ad. Reloading the video can sometimes result in a different ad or no long ad, so the video starts sooner.

I was wondering if something like this could be implemented as an optional feature in iSponsorBlockTV:

Detect that an ad has started.
If the ad cannot currently be skipped, exit/back out of the video.
Reload or resume the same video.
Check again for an ad.
Retry a limited number of times to avoid an infinite loop.

I understand this may not be technically possible depending on what actions are available through the YouTube Lounge protocol. But since iSponsorBlockTV can already detect ads and control the YouTube TV client, I thought this might be an interesting experiment.

The idea would be to make it completely optional and configurable, for example with a maximum retry count.

What do you think? Would something like this be technically possible?
