needle VS intro-skipper

I used this wrapper to implement an opening and ending detection tool for “fun” [1].

However, it seems that many programs opt to instead shell out to the ffmpeg CLI. I think it’s usually simpler than linking against the library and to avoid licensing issues. But there are some cases where the CLI doesn’t cut it.

I've developed a command line tool that can do this for you: https://github.com/aksiksi/needle. You can try it out by downloading the latest version for your platform from here: https://github.com/aksiksi/needle/releases/tag/v0.1.5.

I’ve been working on needle[1], a CLI (and associated library) that can detect openings/intros and endings/credits across TV or anime episodes. It decodes audio, fingerprints it in chunks, and then compares chunks across files to find common sequences.

Right now, it works pretty well as a CLI app. However, the eventual goal is to wrap the library in a Jellyfin plugin (C#) that handles skipping intros. I think I’ve figured how to call a C library from C#, but there is a lot of work to do to actually get a functional plugin.

you could always cut up the video into segments A,B,C,D,E using like ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:10:00 -i input -c copy A.ext (where A is the first 10 minutes of video) and then recombine with https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate, might take a while though and some basic math. maybe you could do something programatically with chromaprint by identifying the repeating audio segments? that's just an idea since that's what this jellyfin plugin does to identify repeated segments of shows in the form of opening credits.

Is anyone using the modified web interface for the Intro Skipper plugin https://github.com/ConfusedPolarBear/intro-skipper/blob/master/docs/web_interface.md with Unraid?

You mean the beta software with many bugs? Not remotely acceptable in my opinion. https://github.com/ConfusedPolarBear/intro-skipper/issues

Make sure to follow the instructions - Here

Download and extract the latest modified web interface from GitHub actions Click the most recent action run In the Artifacts section, click the jellyfin-web-VERSION+COMMIT.tar.gz link to download a pre-compiled copy of the web interface. This link will only work if you are signed into GitHub.

I believe you would have to install the modified web interface to get the prompt to skip the intros. Instructions to install the modified web interface if you run Jellyfin as a container: https://github.com/ConfusedPolarBear/intro-skipper/blob/master/docs/web_interface.md

Please read through the installation instructions on the README and the instructions for using the modified web interface (method 2 is what I helped improve).
