(2024-10-17, 06:36 PM)TheDreadPirate Wrote: The way the intro skipper plugin worked is by analyzing and "fingerprinting" the video looking for where there are repeats between episodes (intros/outros). But that is computationally expensive, in additional to all the other features in Jellyfin that are computationally expensive. In 10.10, there will be a feature called "media segments" that may enable a built-in intro skipper at a future time in a much less computationally expensive manner.
Seems you may unintentionally be spreading a bit of misinformation, since Intro Skipper is one of the providers for the 10.10 API integration. Jellyfin has replaced the need for us to inject a button by providing an endpoint to design native buttons around. The process itself, though, is fundamentally identical with a few added steps.
1. Jellyfin’s method is just as, if not more so, computationally expensive because it separated collecting and recording the segments into two isolated processes that require sequential writing of data.
2. The method of analysis you claim Intro Skipper uses is actually trademarked by Netflix. We analyze the audio, which is significantly less expensive than analyzing the video. The various analysis methods are explained in detail on our wiki (https://github.com/intro-skipper/intro-skipper/wiki#detection-types)
3. Jellyfin’s chapter segment provider is an identical process to our first analysis pass, so any compatible media is not subjected to further analysis. However, unlike Jellyfin’s chapter segment provider, the other videos (80% on average) that go undetected have a chance.
If you have questions about how Intro Skipper works or need more clarification and can’t find it on our GitHub repository, please feel free to ask.

Seems the 10,10.* way of doing things has one shortcoming. The plugin's button had an input listener attached so you could just hit <Enter> to trigger it.

Hi, is there any way I could make it so the intro-skipping and credit-skipping buttons are styled similarly? Right now the Skip Intro is a white round button with black text and then Play Next is the standard transparent one Jellyfin always had (it just appears sooner). I don't have a strong preference for which style is better, just would like them matching each other. Cheers! <3

The last 2 updates (maybe even three) I've noticed a problem that even when I have the "check" option to automatically skip the intro "Play intro for first episode of a season", that first episode is also skipped every time.
I tried several times to "un/check" and each time to save and restart Jellyfin, but nothing helped, the result is still the same, even if I have the option "Play intro for first episode of a season" checked still the first episode is skipped as well.
However, if I leave "Play intro for first episode of a season" unchecked, it oddly enough works "correctly" and thus the first episode doesn't automatically skip the intro o.O
Is this happening to anyone else as well?

RE: intro-skipper project dead? - GH0UL - 2024-11-17
I've installed the plugin and got it all configured. It has run its scheduled task etc.
However, I only see the skip button in the Jellyfin client on Android. On my "Google Chromecast with Google TV 4K" installed from the built in store, the button won't show up. I have tried both with and without the "show skip button" option enabled and have restarted the server as instructed when changing the setting.
I'm running Jellyfin via Unraid, from "BBergle's Repository", which states "This uses the offical Jellyfin container. This official container should help more people with hardware transcoding since this is a Debian base image instead of ubuntu". I've ran the command for Unraid, as listed on the GitHub page, to no avail.
Is this a known issue? It'd be great if every client supported showing the button, as it's quite frustrating currently. I've enabled "auto skip" for now, but I much prefer having the button.
To the authors: Great work on Jellyfin and this plug-in too, I appreciate all the work that has gone into it.
Edit: just tried the latest beta on my android TV and it still doesn't show the button...
Thank you.

The Android TV app does not support skipping yet. The version 0.18, currently in beta, does support it. You can sign up for the beta if you want to give it a go now. It will take several minutes and/or restarting your CCwGTVB before Android replaces 0.17 with 0.18.

Thanks. I reinstalled Jellyfin on my server (used Linuxserver Unraid docker this time), installed the Android TV beta of Jellyfin and it works now.
Appreciate the help!
Thank you.

Does the newest ATV beta implement some kind of Intro Skipping button ? I got a "Press to skip" type command while watching some show, it wasn't there before.
I have to guess I need to re-generate all intro timestamps from the skip intro plugin so it is properly generate intro segments ?
