Wrong issue tracker. Streamlink Twitch GUI is just a launcher for Streamlink and is totally unrelated to anything streaming related. This is done by Streamlink. Make sure that you have enabled the "Skip advertisements" checkbox in the Twitch GUI's streaming settings menu, which will set the --twitch-disable-ads CLI parameter when launching streams. This is working fine for pre-roll ads, but apparently there are new issues for mid-roll ads, which needs to be looked into and which is a bit tricky to debug.

Please follow the threads on the Streamlink issue tracker instead and be patient, we are already aware of this. https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues

Instead of closing this one, I'll lock it and keep it open, in order to avoid unnecessary duplicates from people who don't look for closed threads.

I've updated the stickied thread that was already there since a few years. Forgot about that when writing the answer. Closing this one now. Also removed the embedded ads page from the wiki, as it's redundant and unnecessary maintenance work for me.
