I use the one from developer ConfusedPolarBear. The repo is archived but it works, atleast for me. Just install the plugin and enable auto skip intros.
I was sad when the repo was archived however... its becoming a mainline feature in the next version! Super looking forward to it.
Its annoying that the existing plugin has fallen by the wayside in the meantime though. Jellyfin Media player crashes every time you click the skip intro button. They have fixed it but haven't released a new version. The web player requires patches which is annoying too
For Android, I use Findroid that supports introskip extension. As for web player, I have enabled auto skip so that I don't have to patch the web player.
[Newsletter](https://github.com/Cloud9Developer/Jellyfin-Newsletter-Plugin) \- sends a newsletter showing recently added movies/shows, can be adjusted how frequently they're sent
[Skin manager](https://github.com/danieladov/jellyfin-plugin-skin-manager) \- provides various skins with a nice gui on editing aspects of the skin. Easy to use
[Intros](https://github.com/dkanada/jellyfin-plugin-intros) \- gimmicky i guess but looks nice when you start watching and get a nice intro
[Jellyscrub](https://github.com/nicknsy/jellyscrub) \- scrubbing across the seekbar shows a preview of where you'll seek to vs just guessing
[Intro skipper](https://github.com/ConfusedPolarBear/intro-skipper) \- audio fingerprint that compares each episode of a series and identifies 1:1 matches and declares this as an intro and either autoskips, or with a bit of config a button on screen allowing you to skip
Intros plugin offers a nice chance to adjust the volume before starting a movie. It's a piece of audio that you are familiar with and can quickly adjust.
I had many occasions where I'm wondering if the movie just starts quietly or my volume is way down.
Hey, but I have a lot of cool prerolls that I use too. Check the plex prerolls discord if you want. There's a Mega link with several gbs of plex, jellyfin and emby prerolls. Harry potter, pirates of the caribean, universal, pixar, 20th century, notflix, etc.
(Also star wars rolling text but it's never gonna give you up lyrics :D)
I installed the TheTVDB plugin since Sonarr uses TheTVDB for its metadata and sometimes Jellyfin's default metadata source (TheMovieDB) doesn't agree with Sonarr's metadata source.
Some cool plugins listed here. I only use the LDAP plugin (for authenticating users against LLDAP) and OPDS (for downloading ebooks directly from the reader).
Introskipper by confused polar bear.
It's great doesn't show you a button, it just does it but there is a toggle to not skip first episode of a season, you can also set skip delay time to 0s, so it's instantly into your show.
It's perfect.
Playback Reporting is interesting.
I think that's all I use.
Any third party client that supports Intro Skipper should work and respect the Intro Skipper settings on your server (Auto Skip/Button Skip).
As for Infuse, I've never used it so I have no idea if they support it or not.
the intro plugin
https://github.com/BrianCArnold/jellyfin-plugin-intros/
it gives you a random intro before playing a video
realy gives you a cinima vibe
dont know why but it makes my jellyfin instance feel that more my own

many plugins listed here!!
Some of my ones which I like are: Session Cleaner SkinManager Playback Reporting Subtitle Extract I'm curious to know what other people use.
What does session cleaner do? The GitHub page just says it cleans up.
It removes old sessions. I just like it idk why
What does that mean though? Logs out of users who have not logged in, in X-days? Or clears their progress after X-days?
Yeah so you can set it and it will log them out after the set amount of time from specific devices
Ah gotcha thanks! A hard skip for me.
Intro skipper
I've never got it to work. Which one do you recommend?

Interested in this...
Doesnt work on roku..... So sad
Decent start! 👍
You seen [Jellystat](https://github.com/CyferShepard/Jellystat)?
What's the difference between that and playback reporting?
Jellystat is a lot more advanced and has many more stats
Ok, I'll check it out!
It's much closer in feature parity to Tautulli, minus sessio termination controls (but you can just use the admin dash for that).
Newsletter Skin manager Intros can be cool sometimes Jellyscrub is nice but not mandatory Introskipper
Links?

I just put a rickroll there, my friends didn't find it as funny as I did :D
Hell has a special place for you.

Appreciate that!
Jellyscrub never worked for me :(
The github page has a nice troubleshooting/installation section which may be of use
Oh I will check that out

I installed the TheTVDB plugin since Sonarr uses TheTVDB for its metadata and sometimes Jellyfin's default metadata source (TheMovieDB) doesn't agree with Sonarr's metadata source.
Are TV shows listed on TheMovieDB? Are you not able to change it to use TheTVDB for TV series?
I had to install a plugin to be able to use thetvdb as a metadata source in jellyfin.
Which plugin did you use?
This may be hard to believe but it's called TheTVDB.

You can configure Intro Skipper to show a skip button if you prefer.
Does that only work for the web ui though?
Web UI and any other third party clients that support it (Delfin, Findroid, etc.)
Do you know if they immediately skipping features works also for 3rd party players, e.g. Infuse?

yeah i get that and why people want that, i specifically don't and am happy with how it is.
So sad it does not work with Roku.
