This is simply a rehash/summary of an original article on 404media. Beyond that, you would have to be living under a rock to think that Plex was interested in what their users actually wanted. I ran a Plex server for years until I got fed up with trying to turn off some new self serving misfeature with every new update. It's been clear for years that offering a self hosting media server solution is simply a bridgehead for Plex to seek every more revenue opportunities, even for paying ~~victims~~ customers. I moved to and recommend Jellyfin- comparable user experience (minus the crap), use the same library, apps for all your devices, open source and completely self contained.
Does Jellyfin support skip-intro and skip-credits?
Skip-intro is an unofficial plugin ATM but can vouch that it works decently well. Can't compare it to the Plex implementation since it has been quite a while since I've had Plex deployed.
But afaik it only works in the browser, not on mobile apps unless that changed in the last few months.
Ah you're probably right about the mobile clients. I'm not a mobile watcher really. I can say though that the jellyfin desktop app and jellyfin mpv shim both have skip-intro integration, though I've only tested it with jellyfin MPV shim.
