Skip Times

Skip times

Openings and endings are skipped using whichever source knows them, asked in this order: the provider in use, AniSkip, theintrodb, and optionally Anime-Skip. The first three need no setup.

The first time theintrodb is needed, otakase downloads a small lookup table in the background; playback is never held up for it. Set IntroDBSkipTimes=false to leave theintrodb out.

Fixing the times yourself

When a skip is wrong, or missing, you can say so from the player:

Key	What it does
Alt+o	Mark the opening — once at its start, again at its end
Alt+e	The same for the ending
Alt+s	Send what you marked to AniSkip — press once to see it, again to send
Alt+r	Forget the marks
Alt+u	Agree with the skip you were given
Alt+d	Report the skip you were given as wrong

Everything appears on the player's own screen, so you never leave the episode. Nothing is sent until you press Alt+s a second time, with the exact times on screen in between — these entries are public, and every player that reads AniSkip inherits them. Submissions are filed under an id this program invents and keeps; AniSkip has no accounts and asks for nothing about you. Set ContributeSkipTimes=false to leave the keys unbound.

Adding Anime-Skip

Anime-Skip is the fourth source, and the only one that needs a client id. The simplest way to turn it on:

AnimeSkipClientID=auto

Otakase then uses Anime-Skip's public shared id and replaces it on its own if it changes. Being shared, it may be rate-limited.

For an id of your own, run:

otakase -setup-anime-skip

This opens Anime-Skip's account page in your browser — sign up first if you have not already — and asks you to paste back the client id you create there.

You can also write an id you already have straight into the config, in place of auto:

AnimeSkipClientID=your_client_id_here

Leaving the setting empty is fine — Anime-Skip is simply not asked, and the other sources carry on.
