It must’ve been sometime this spring that I would see a Skip Intro button on my TV and click it with my TV remote, CEC magic. Then it went away. It was working for a while, when is it coming back?

Thanks, but I am specifically talking about Chromecast. I see Skip Intro in web client and others just fine.

If you are talking about one of the newer Chromecast with Google TV, it is definitely there, I use it every night when I watch TV in bed on mine. If you are talking about one of the older cast only Chromecasts that was never a feature available on them.

I have 3 different generations of cast only Chromecasts and this feature worked for a few weeks, then went away.

Don’t know what to tell you as Skip Intro was never supported on the cast only Chromecasts. I didn’t just pull that from my rear end. A quick google search will reveal as much. It likely never will be supported either now that those Chromecasts have essentially been replaced by the newer Chromecast …

Skip intro as never supported on Chromecast. Skip TV Show Intros | Plex Support Chromecast w/Google TV runs our Android TV app. (GoogleTv is essentially their rebranding of Android TV) and if you are using it in that way rather than as a Chromecast it should be there

Thanks @BigWheel i’ll try grab one of the new devices, they go on deep sale black friday. ooc, would i have to use the gtv remote to skip intros or will it work with my TV remote via CEC?

[image] bahman2000: will it work with my TV remote via CEC? I’m not sure probably depends on how well the TV manufactures CEC works to detect the device. Mine is connected to a Samsung TV that I lost the remote to about a year ago. The GTV is only device I use on that TV so I just use the G…

… :man_facepalming: if I say it it’s definitely wrong. If BigWheel says it it’s the gospel. Maybe give trusting the advice of people other then Plex employees a try. Also I’ve used my Chromecast with Google TV on 3 different brands of TV now and never had the TV remote work to control it. But the Ch…

well let’s be honest, the new gtv doesn’t magically replace the hundrerds of millions, if not billions, of multiple generations of existing chromecast devices. i understand the product prioritization for the new shiny, but extending the Skip Intros functionality to previous generations of chromecast…

Skip intro is definitely still there. I use it on all of my clients with no issue. I would try rescanning the library and if that didn’t work I would maybe do a Plex Dance with your TV show library and see if that fixes it. Just remember that it can take a good bit of time to finishing detecting intros after something like that.
