The media segments feature has been released as of 10.10.0 and it still needs a plugin. Still feels a bit clunky but works already on my Android TV box. I guess there will be more polish in future versions, now that the groundwork is done.
Yeah I heard about that. That is good news as it means hopefully Jellyfin can start closing the gap on feature parity with Emby.
The thing about people leaving Plex is that things being “clunky” is a nonstarter. The value of Plex was how everything just worked. You could give a link and credentials to your boomer mom and she’d be good to go. That’s why I still recommend Emby to these people as it’s still the best way to achieve that without paying for Plex. Here’s to hoping Jellyfin can reach that point soon.
Do you know how to get intro skipping to work? I’ve reinstalled the latest version of Jellyfin for testing and have the Media Segments Provider plugin installed, but there still seems to be no intro skipping button on any clients. People in this thread keep telling me it exists but outside of this thread there appears to be no evidence it exists.
It's been a while since that I set this up, so take this with a grain of salt. I have these two plugins installed:
I'm honestly not sure if I even need both - maybe the Chapter Segments Provider is unnecessary, even though it's official and newer. I don't understand exactly how it works from the docs.
However, Intro Skipper gives you a new scheduled task named "Detect and Analyze Media Segments". Use this to extract metadata about media segments from your library.
Now that the server knows about some media segments you need a client that can handle them. I've had success with the Android TV App (check the settings) and the Web interface should support them too.
I didn't need to configure anything aside from that, as far as I can remember.
