Yeah, in fact I currently have my second Fire Stick 4K connected to my LG 4K TV because of this issue – and they clearly can’t add Skip Intro to the LG Client until it gets fixed.
I have that setup on one stick, and it’s… so-so. I have some stuff that is high bitrate video or like 4:4:4 color space and it can’t play it back smoothly. Also FLAC audio can cause issues with smooth playback for me. I hear some people have no problems. YMMV is all I can say. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, and maybe it’s just with ASS format subs, but there is very long delay between playback starting and Kodi displaying subtitles. Like if I have a program that starts with spoken dialog at the beginning it’s 10 seconds before Plex on Kodi starts rendering the subtitles. Not a delay, just a “we dropped those earlier lines”. On a movie this wont be a problem since most films have studio logos and opening credits during that time, but honestly Plex on Kodi is more a curiosity for me. I generally just use the normal app.
July is probably a good time, actually. Looking at my order history I ordered my second one on July 16th last year, and it was $24.99 ($49.99-$25 Deal of the Day rebate), plus I got a $45 Sling credit from it.
