I do not skip intros. I never do and I never will  
Moreso I don’t like the “skip intro” button. It is ugly and distracting. on an OLED it’s like a giant flashlight shooting at me.

Some of my users like skipping intros.  
I should be able to toggle a checkbox in my client apps (show skip intro button ON/OFF)

Please implement this. (At least consider it before moving on to adding more advertisements in Plex, or stupid obnoxious intro sounds)

Thanks as always!

There’s already an existing feature suggestion discussing an option to hide the `Skip Intro` button as a user preference. I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

How do I turn it off completely? A: Go to you servers library settings and set Generate intro video markers to never I’ve done so on the server I manage. However, I still see the “Skip Intro” button when viewing shows on a friend’s server I’m connected to as a non-admin. I find the bright yellow “Skip Intro” button very distract…

Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.
