I am pretty sure this is not possible.  As far as I know DLNA doesn't allow
the server to tell the client what to do... its simply making the files
available for playback.

Now, if you had control over the DLNA client source code... or could run an
external application to control playback, you could probably query the
database for the cutlist and have it skip commercials.  However that's way
outside of the scope of Mythtv itself.
