Skipping outros/credits
It would be a good feature if this plugin was able to skip outros/credits as well. Makes binge-watching a bit easier
Video fingerprinting would probably be a good fit for outros since the music is often different for each episodes outro/credits but the graphics of scrolling text doesn't change. So with the frames scaled down to like 200p it should work
Here's the ffmpeg command I've used to get video frames from ffmpeg sent to a pipe, and it's quite fast considering the overhead inherent to video frame extraction: https://github.com/mueslimak3r/tv-intro-detection/blob/master/ffmpeg_fingerprint.py#L52
I find the credits music is always the same except on a few shows. That my experience. The credit videos isn't always the same because of different directors, writers and guest stars in different episodes.

This is especially true for some anime. You only really see a different ending every half season
Hello
I know you've been busy with some of the features but I'm wondering if there's any updates on this.
Cheers
As a suggestion, that would be cool to use the "next up" episode sooner, instead of just skipping the credits, and do not skip if it's the last episode (that's the netflix/primevideo behaviour).
This plex plugin seems to do outro credits detecting I hope something like this can be implemented for intro skipper as well.

This would be awesome to have, the normal percentage based outro skipping has no way to detect after credit scenes in animes.
The most reliable, but probably the most difficult, way is to scan frames for text and compare the text between episodes to make sure they match.
I don't see scanning text for credits working because the credits are completely different from episode to episode depending on who guest stared or background actors or extras. Not to mention if like in anime there is a different little anime ending of 5-10 seconds. Music matching for credits seems the most reliable option to me.
