In the past, I used DVRMS Toolbox on Windows to monitor a video directory, run Comskip against a video file to generate a file showing where commercials were, and generate various output files (including XML files) to show where the commercial segments are in the video. One of the output files was a VPRJ file, which could be used with VideoRedo to actually cut out the commercials.
A lot of work to get set up and working, but it was cool. When I had to rebuild that system, I decided it was too much work to go through all that again. I just hit the skip forward button a few times when I get to a commercial. As for watching files on your Roku, you might want to check out Plex (there is a Free and Premium version.) It can run on Windows/Mac/Linux as your backend and there is a Plex app on Roku to play your media files, there.
