oxide VS needle

Sorry about that, it's just a shortcut for https://github.com/fcoury/oxide.

Not to take away from the work done on the plugin, but that’s a “basic” skip intro implementation.

To reliably be able to find intros/credits, you need to some non-local analysis - basically, you need to look for common chunks of audio across episodes in a season or entire show.

I wrote a CLI tool that can do this, albeit it’s not really “finished” and probably will never be. My initial goal was to use it to develop a Jellyfin plugin, but then I discovered that there was already such a plugin :)

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.
