View, edit, add, and delete intro and credit markers for your Plex media.

Intro Editor for Plex

Plex does not let users modify or add intro markers, relying solely on their own audio detection process. This project aims to make it easier to view/edit/add/delete individual intro markers, as well as apply bulk add/edit/delete operations to a season or an entire show. It can also be used to add multiple intro markers, for example to skip credits or a "previously on XYZ" section (as seen in the image below).

NOTE: While this project has been proven to work for my own individual use cases, it interacts with your Plex database in an unsupported way, and offers no guarantees against breaking your database, neither now or in the future. Use at your own risk.
