Now that we have it skipping to the next episode before the countdown starts, it seems that this causes it to just repeat the same episode over and over if you're at the last episode in the series (rather than just returning to the main menu).

I remember seeing this very rarely before (I assume that it was just a timing issue where it happened to check the show time at the exact right time before the player had returned to the main menu), but now it happens every time at the end of the last episode in the series.

Is there any way to check if there's a next episode via the API before attempting to skip to it?

The player is an Nvidia Shield and the Android TV Plex app. Server is Windows, latest public PMS.

I am not that familiar with the Plex API, so my apologies if this is not doable.

Would it be possible for you to implement an option for custom defined sections of media to mute, rather than skip?

First - I love the script, and it works great for my windows player, but on my FireTV it's able to skip intros, but when it tries to skip at the end of the episode to the next episode, the player reports:

"An error occurred while attempting to play this video. Please check your connection and try again."

When this happens, the script says the following:

The episodes in question have been played entirely too many times (seriously, make it stop), so I know they'll play normally without the auto skip.

Here is a relevant part of the logs. It finds the intro but is unable to skip.

Thanks for a great application.

When I log in to the web player via my_ip:32400 when on LAN, autoskip works ok. However, if I login via app.plex.tv, I get the debug level errors below. I have tried configs with either plex.tv credentials or 127.0.0.1 with port 32400. My smart TVs have no issues. My SSL settings are set to Preferred.

I'm on Win11.

Thanks for your help.

First of all, thanks for the good work. I am using the containerized version and it works perfectly!

One thing that would greatly improve upon the existing features would be to allow "negative" values for the custom markers. For example, most shows have the same outro sequence so we could essentially add to the custom.json markers for specific shows / seasons to skip to the next episode when there is X amount of milliseconds left.

Hello,

I've just installed PlexAutoSkip using your docker container but I can't seem to get it to skip anything. I've tried it on both my Apple TV and iPhone and nothing happens.

Here are the logs:

As you can see there are no messages indicating that it's finding sessions/detecting intros. GDM is enabled on the server and my Apple TV's Plex app has "Advertise as player" set to on. My Plex server is running in a container too for what it's worth (hotio's image), but both containers are on the same subnet.

Do you have any idea of what could be the problem?

Thanks!

Just wondering if it would be possible to have the ability to customise the skipping for shows?

For example, parks and rec has a obnoxious intro, but no outro, where as I would like to skip both on futurama.

Hopefully i’m not asking too much lol

Thanks for this project, it's working great.

It would be great if it were possible to set the offset per show rather than globally, Plex seems to pick up the intro on one of my shows a little too early

If there are no episodes left in a series, plex auto skip continues to restart the last few seconds of the last episode. Is there any way to change this behavior?
