Similar to how end-credits allows for the credits to be submitted to a cloud-based marker api, so that everyone can enjoy credits skipping without having to do the heavy computation… I’d like the intro markers to be similarly submitted to a cloud-based marker api. So that we don’t all have to do the same processing. ---

As you’ve pointed out, this is already available for credit markers. There’s also an existing suggestion thread asking to have the same option for intro markers too. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes. Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate. > [@Skip intro - why are we not crowd sourcing this?](https://forums.plex.tv/t/skip-intro-why-are-we-not-crowd-sourcing-this/777347): > > For Intro detection, can we not get feedback from users? Everytime a user’s server detects a start time for an intro for a TV Series and and Episode, can’t we have a quick communication back to Plex website that says “I detected an intro for TV Show X - Episode XX - Start(s) and Stop(s)”. Then, when Plex website gets above a certain level of crowd confidence, then future server requests can just get a start and end times for Intros for each episode, without requiring each server to detect intro… ---
