• Check that you are using the latest Jellyfin version
• Reload the plugin page without cache (CTRL + F5 for Windows/Linux or SHIFT + CMD + R for macOS)

Important: This URL returns a manifest based on the Jellyfin version used to access it.
It will NOT return a manifest when viewed in a browser, as no Jellyfin version is provided.

As of Jellyfin 10.10, Intro Skipper does NOT modify the UI.

Optional: File Transformation plugin

Some web UI features (for example, adjusting the skip-button timeout) require the File Transformation plugin. If it’s not installed, Intro Skipper will still work, but those enhancements won’t be applied.
