How does intro-skipper interact with the new Infuse skip intros function

See announcement.

Just curious if they interact nicely or if they will stomp on each other. Any info greatly appreciated! Thanks.

using https://theintrodb.org/ seems not possible for me

Tested from various German IP addresses.

Infuse can get away with using that API because they don't have to publish their source under GPL.

Someone came to us about theintrodb.org when it was first released, but it's just a random API. From what I can tell, they could just as easily be stealing the times from various sources and claiming they are provided by the community.

Infuse is obviously going to sell it as a great source, since they sponsor it. Any project that wants crypto and cash card seems like the owners really don't want their names attached to it, though.

As for how you, the user, will be impacted... It will depend on how Infuse handles it. They could either ignore Jellyfin's times and favor the API, not call the API when using Jellyfin, or try to juggle both. Jellyfin decided that all responsibility for using the times should be given to the clients, which means that the conflict is out of our hands.

I don't think they asked for permission to use it. It looks like everyone is currently blocked.

Both sites list Infuse as a sponsor / backer.
