Chapter Segments Provider Plugin - visualblind - 2025-02-06
Hello all,
I was curious whether or not the Chapter Segments Provider plugin will generate more data (>1GB) even though its source is based off existing container chapter info (afaik).
I would like to enable this feature, however my Jellyfin install is consuming a good amount of space already (30GB+ 5 years old) and I would prefer that it grows at a slow predictable rate. I'm also running low on disk space and would need to plan ahead to extend the disk/parition/etc if enabling the chapter segment plugin will want consume more space.
Thanks for reading ( ˘ ³˘)♥

This plugin only creates database entries for where supported segments are located. This enables various skipping prompts in our clients that support skipping.
It will not generate any appreciable amount of data.

Thanks for the reply. As far as I can tell the plugin bases the different types of chapter segments from the chapter name of the media container. Is that correct? I'm pretty bad at reading C#.
If that's true and the chapters don't have any names, how does it go about determining the type?

The chapter titles need to match what you've configured in the plugin. If the chapters have numbers for the chapter title, this plugin essentially does nothing for that video.
For those videos with generic titles, you'd need the intro skipper plugin to fill the gaps. It will do video/audio analysis to find the intros and outros (or just intros?) and writes the result in the database.

Does the Intro Skipper plugin work in conjunction with the Chapter Segments Provider plugin?
Could you point me in the right direction for the Intro Skipper plugin?
I'm not seeing it under the official/default repo's, and my web search gets me github.com/ConfusedPolarBear/intro-skipper and github.com/306bobby/intro-skipper which haven't been updated in over 2 years and look quite unofficial.
I have the following repo's configured:

The one actively being developed is this one https://github.com/intro-skipper/intro-skipper/, it does not work well with the Chapter Segments Provider, intro-skipper plugin also uses chapter markers itself so just using that one should be enough.
RE: Chapter Segments Provider Plugin - TheDreadPirate - 2025-02-07
This is the intro skipper plugin you should be using.
https://github.com/intro-skipper/intro-skipper
The intro skipper fills in the gaps that the chapter segments plugin leaves. I believe it will skip an episode if it finds it has already been tagged as having an intro (as tagged by the chapter segment plugin).
