I know that there is a [fairly complicated feature request to skip intro when you are watching the same show](https://forums.plex.tv/t/option-for-semi-persistent-automatic-skip-intro/598246). I would suggest a drastically simpler solution. Create a setting in Experience that allows a user to Skip Intros. This will automatically skip intro for any show that can skip an intro.

So if there’s already a poll for it why create a new one?

Here’s another:

> The skip intro functionality is by design not skipping the full intro, but since the analyzed data is present, please let me choose whether or not i want this ~3 second padding before the skip intro button is shown (when the intro is at the start of the media) and also whether I want to see the last ~3 seconds of an intro. I globally or library wide user defined variables for intro skipping would be best where 0 would mean you don’t see the intro.

It’s basically the same thing. Whether the option is to skip 1 intro or all intros, that’s minor.
