## What it is
A Jellyfin server plugin that analyzes the audio of TV episodes to automatically detect intro and credit sequences. It provides media segment data so supported clients can skip intros and credits during playback.

## Use cases
- automatically skip TV show intros in Jellyfin
- detect and skip credit sequences in episodes
- analyze episode audio fingerprints to find intro boundaries
- auto-play next episode without sitting through intros
- add skip button functionality to Jellyfin playback

## When to choose
- you run a Jellyfin media server with TV episodes and want intros skipped automatically
- you want server-side intro detection that works across Jellyfin clients
- you prefer a free, actively maintained alternative to commercial skip features

## When to avoid
- you use Plex, Emby, or another media server instead of Jellyfin
- your Jellyfin version is older than 10.11.11 or lacks the required jellyfin-ffmpeg build
- you need intro skipping on clients that don't support Jellyfin media segments
