dim VS intro-skipper

https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim might be your solution. Listed on awesome self hosted.

Dim is simple media server You can look at. Dim

Someone recently told me about this one, too. https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim

Anyway, there is a growing number of potential competitors such as dim and Olaris Media Server but as of right now there isn't an alternative that I would consider to be equal to plex, however I think we're getting close, it might be another year maybe two before we see any real competition, it mostly depends on how fast the alternatives can be developed.

I've been amassing a library which I've exposed to some family members via Tailscale

Dim (https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim) is also a decent shout.

From Jellyfin to Olaris and even DIM, there is a rise in media server options, one day soon Plex will have a serious competitor and I can see a lot of people, myself included, moving to one of these competitors.

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).
