SOLVED: Intros for Jellyfin Plugin

[nothingveryobvious]

The official intros plugin is not working for me, playing on Jellyfin Media Player and Jellyfin Android TV, with one pre-roll. It worked a few times on 10.10.1 then stopped, and now it's totally not working for me on 10.10.3.

Anyone else have better luck?

Also, does anyone know if this will work in Kodi with the Jellyfin for Kodi plugin?

Thanks!

Can you share your logs via pastebin? And screenshots of the plugin config?

Hey, @TheDreadPirate, thanks for your reply.

For starters, each episode I'm playing has never been played before, in case that matters.

I just played an episode in Jellyfin Media Player using local connection, and it worked:

However, when I play a different episode on Jellyfin Android TV, connecting via reverse proxy, it doesn't work:

I appreciate your help!

On Android TV local intros only works on Movies. This is a known limitation.

[nothingveryobvious]

@TheDreadPirate

I just tried it on two movies on Android TV. The logs seem to indicate that the into played, but I didn't see anything.

[TheDreadPirate]

I'll have to do some testing when I get home and I'll get back to you.

[nothingveryobvious]

@TheDreadPirate Sounds good, thank you!

[TheDreadPirate]

Sorry. Didn't get around to testing last night. I have tomorrow off so I should have time tonight to test.

[nothingveryobvious]

@TheDreadPirate

No worries, take your time. I genuinely appreciate you taking the time.

[TheDreadPirate]

Confirmed that local intros only play with movies. Doesn't appear that the ATV app currently makes the API call for shows. Confirmed with Niels that this was the case.
