  Yes, Intro Skipper plugin. It’s awesome.

  There’s an extension/plugin that you can install for that. I have been meaning to do that, but I keep forgetting, so I can’t say how good it is.

    It’s this sort of fiddly stuff that gives me pause with Jellyfin. And the fact that people say their apps aren’t that good.

    I’m not the sort of nerd who wants to fiddle with plugins or hook my laptop up to every TV in the house.

    But I’ll give it a try just to see.

      Jellyfin did some work on integrating the Skip Intros plugin a lot better, AFAIK you just have to enable it once on your server and then once in the settings of all Jellyfin web players.

      As for apps, there are some good native third party apps which I mentioned here.

      I get that. I prefer to use what just works. Plex has for a while been moving towards putting barriers towards using it locally. Jellyfin has less polish, but none of the bullshit.

        Yeah, I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. Jellyfin makes it hard because, let’s face it, open source doesn’t do UX very well. Plex makes it hard because they’re enshittifying.

        And I can’t make my own media server with blackjack and hookers because I’m too busy.
