Hi, Since the feature ‘Skip intro’ has been introduced to series, I would like to propose the following. in properties for an episode, add a tab named ‘Intro/Recap’ or something more accurate. In this tab you can put four time fields. 2 for recap: Start of recap: mm:ss (default: 00:00) End of recap: mm:ss (default: 00:00) 2 for intro: Start of intro: mm:ss (default: 00:00) End of intro: mm:ss (default: 00:00) Maybe they need checkboxes to be activated? Also if any of these exist from online sources they can be pre-filled into the slots. I realize that the times is just an approximation as the jumps in video files require keyframes to start from. I can be super wrong here and probably am. But if that is the case, that you can only jump to keyframes the plex server can figure out the closest keyframe before the time set by user and update the input field. Then, when you play the episode you get a button to opt to skip the recap or intro. Just a thought Figeluren Also see: > [@\[FEATURE REQUEST\] manual time on TV episodes](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-manual-time-on-tv-episodes/139031): > > Several players already feature autoplay with tv shows. But it would be nice if we could adjust skipping of the intros to episodes. Anime is the worst. Most of them have a 2 minute intro and seeing them every 20 minutes is annoying. The same feature is in netflex. It starts the timer for the next episode at the beginning of the end credits and with any show that starts with an intro like family guy it automatically skips it. It would be nice to have that in plex but taking it a step further. In … ---

Looks like somebody had already suggested such a feature. The only difference I can see is that they’re considering alternative ways to set those timestamps, while yours adds the option to edit this via the user interface. > [@Manual Skip TV Show Intros // mod: add/edit intro markers](https://forums.plex.tv/t/manual-skip-tv-show-intros/593807): > > I am curious if there is a way the new Skip TV Show Intro can be improved to add a manual feature where you can provide say an XML or EDL file from a tool like MCEBuddy to manually define a TV Show intro. This would be handy for TV shows that do not automatically get detected by the new tool or for Shows that include a unique “Previously on” section at the beginning of the video. This would allow you to keep the “Previously on” part of the video but skip it while binge watching. Please search before posting duplicate posts to avoid distracting votes from each other. If you want we can move your post into that other suggestion to add the angle of doing this through the UI. Otherwise I’ll close the post so you and others can vote in the existing suggestion. ---

So by referring to another post, which I did, you deduce I didn’t do any research? Nice attitude… My post has been pasted into the other post you suggested. ---

> [@Figeluren](#): > > So by referring to another post, which I did, you deduce I didn’t do any research? No… I only referred to there being a similar feature suggestion (not just some linked post) and that’s what we’re trying to limit in order to prevent users splitting their votes across similar suggestions as this can easily result in both requests not getting sufficient visibility. As you added your point to the sibling request/suggestion I’ll close this one. ---
