Request: add "skip intro" processing

I’ve noticed that the Amazon prime video app has the ability to “skip intro” for some TV shows and I thought that would be a great feature for Plex to develop.

I appreciate it may not be a simple thing to do, but could see it being part of the batch video processing to detect a common intro and/or credits for a TV season and then give the players the ability to skip right to the end of that.

These are done by people who manually setup the skip time as the set of files are added to their system.

Would you want to edit every file on your system to add this info? Trying to do this with some type of automated system would be difficult at best. It would have to work similar to comskip.

Doing it the first way would be rather simple but the other way quite hard.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

Therefore this one is closed.
