Implement Jellyfin's new segment API (intro skipping)

[crylcy]

I've noticed that while watching TV series on the Jellyfin web interface, there's an option to skip intros and outros, but this feature is missing in Kodi. I hope that a future update to the Kodi plugin could include the ability to skip intros and outros, similar to the functionality available in Jellyfin web interface。

Thanks a lot~！

With the deprecation of the intro-skipper plugins (which used to work with Jellyfin-Kodi), and Jellyfin's new native implementation which is client-side, the only way to get that functionality back is to implement it directly in the Jellyfin-Kodi plugin as a playback option.

+1 for this request.

Can you link references for the intro skipper deprecation? issue/blog/forum-post or such, explaining the why & when would be nice

Also, please use the thumbs up reaction on the initial issue rather than comments with +1/me too, github allows sorting by number of reactions :)

+1 from me. It would be great to see Jellyfin for Kodi implement an intro/outro skip control based on the new "Media Segment" API thats in JF 10.10:

The current 'intro skipper' plugin is still required to analyse your media library and create the segments which may then be called by clients using the API. https://github.com/intro-skipper/intro-skipper

A very cool feature, that I would love to see included. Well, I love it that much that I created a little standalone addon. It's far from fancy and my first "proper" addon. It also probably still has quite a few bugs and issues, but it worked decently enough:
