Stremio
Skip opening and ending for animes and TV Shows
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No
Describe the solution you'd like A common feature throughout anime player is allowing the opening to be skipped.
Describe alternatives you've considered Another related feature, not as common as the prior, is the appearance of "next episode" option since the ending started. Related to #157
Additional context
Both features would require an extension of streams or meta API (adding{extras: {opening: HH:MM:SS-HH:MM:SS, ending: HH:MM:SS-HH:MM:SS} following the Catalog API's extras pattern)
Not only animes but it's also very common to stream services allow to skip the intro of TV Shows, this would be a nice feature to have...
Also, this can be achieved without any additional metadata information by pure video/audio processing as the intro is almost always only music without any dialog followed by a black screen. And the ending is also just music on a static screen with rolling text.
There are several available repositories on Github, with code to do just that, and Plex also implements the skip intro feature this way.
this can be achieved without any additional metadata information by pure video/audio processing
The problem is: stremio doesn't contain the stream, hence it can't video/audio process. The idea behind this feature is to provide a way for community addons to send those informations to stremio.
Obviously the community addons could rely on video/audio processing to automatically generate intro/outro timestamps.
Any update on this? I am also interested in this feature.
I noticed stremio's team implemented a skip outro button with fixed time settings but nothing as sophisticated as I suggested.
A discussion on how this can possibly be implemented: https://github.com/iina/iina/issues/3181

it seems as one of the most requested features for stremio https://www.reddit.com/r/StremioAddons/comments/18w5czp/skip_introopening_addon/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Stremio/comments/1712a5q/skip_intro_button_is_possible/
and people want to contribute into developing it
stremio uses mpv as default player , you could use this script for anime https://github.com/synacktraa/ani-skip , and i'm sure crowdsourcing same database for tv shows/movies won't be a problem either
sometimes the intros/openings are marked in chapters (especially in dvd/bluray releases) so if you add chapter selection it may make things easier

Would love this feature also and willing to help with the manual work for e.g. timestamps!
