Just came off an A359 in J a few days ago. Found that by using the remote, if you select the "scrubber" and press the right arrow on the dial it seems to act like a chapter advance on DVD players. I was able to skip through the beginning ads and get right to the feature. Its not intuitive at all though, just happened to observe this by chance. I'll try to confirm this behavior on my next flight on an A359 in early Feb.
