What are your best Intro Skipper settings?

[alexkahler]

Hi everyone,

I've been looking around but couldn't find any posts discussing what people think are the best Intro Skipper settings. For example, I noticed that my current settings for The Last of Us (Season 2) were completely off—it consistently misidentified the intro segment when using the default settings.

I was wondering if there's a way to tweak the configuration to improve accuracy. Any tips or recommended settings would be really appreciated!

Thanks!

Then why does it suck so much at detecting the intro to TLoU?

and the plugins settings page allows you to tweak the configuration.

I'm aware. But how to tweak? E.g., should I increase or decrease the noise tolerance detection?

One set of settings for literal millions of shows in existence means they won't be the perfect settings for every show. That's just common sense.

That depends on your shows. Are the intro too long? Are they further into the show? Noise detection is specific to black frame, which is typically credits, so are credits the issue? Do your files have chapters? It's not as black and white as you may think.

I wholeheartedly agree. And my blanket statement was to repudiate the fact that the default settings are the best

Wonderful. Let's start there. I, for example, found that enabling the option "Prefer Chromaprint Analysis" for TLoU made the intro skipper almost 100% accurate. As such, I would be great to share experience and expertise in tweaking the options, because currently, when Intro Skipper gets something wrong, there's no clear guide or understanding on how to correct the settings so that it might improve detection for a specific show or season that it previously failed.

You didn't answer any of my questions, though, which indicates you may still be a bit fuzzy on the underlying point that it varies from person to person and show to show. That's why the settings themselves are explained and we respond so quickly to questions.
