intro-skipper VS jellyfin-media-player

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).

I use Kodi with the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon and never have this problem on AndroidTV. I’m surprised you get this issue on a Mac, though. Is that when using a browser or when using Jellyfin Media Player?

Does this problem still occur in Jellyfin Media Player? I recommend using this instead of a browser.

I'd give Jellyfin Media Player a try, it supports pretty much all the formats and also supports Jellyscrub and IntroSkipper. It is what I personally use, if you have hardware transcoding is not as big of an issue, but if you don't it either eats up your CPU or is unplayable

On what device/client are you trying to watch it on? Try it on Jellyfin Media Player on your computer. Does it work then? It should direct play.

Just to be sure, if you play the movie in something like MPV or VLC on your computer, do those same scenes exhibit this color banding? How about in Jellyfin Media Player?

Some examples are Jellyfin Media Player, Swiftfin, or Kodi with the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon or JellyCon Addon. I watch a lot of anime with various subtitle formats and these clients always direct play my media.

There are clients you can use to direct play such as Jellyfin Media Player or Kodi with the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon or JellyCon Addon. I watch a lot of anime with various subtitle formats using Kodi on an Amazon FireStick and I never have to transcode.

Try version 1.8.1 https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player/releases/tag/v1.8.1

Jellyfin Media Player.
