If you use the custom web interface on your server, you will be able to click a button to skip intros, like this:

However, if you want to use an unmodified installation of Jellyfin 10.8.z or use clients that do not use the web interface provided by the server, the plugin can be configured to automatically skip intros.

## Installation instructions
### Step 1: Install the modified web interface (optional)
While this plugin is fully compatible with an unmodified version of Jellyfin 10.8.z, using a modified web interface allows you to click a button to skip intros. If you skip this step and do not use the modified web interface, you will have to enable the "Automatically skip intros" option in the plugin settings.
