Is it possible to have VLC skip the first ____ seconds to avoid a series opening sequence each episode/playlist item?

It’s on the addons page on the official site?

You can also use something like ffmpeg to strip those seconds too if you have the actual files and aren't just streaming it. If you ask your favorite robot to write you a script to do it (whatever OS you run), it will, no problem.

Interesting, that certainly another angle to consider 💬

yeah, it is handy. I pulled a torrent where the english audio had been remastered with the distributor logo so it was in sync with the video. But the original language audio was not. It was delayed exactly 11 seconds for that distributor logo. So I got the clanker to write a script that would realign all of the audio tracks that weren't english to the video using ffmpeg. Worked fantastic.

I wonder if it will be able to master away laugh tracks someday so you can enjoy shows without the annoying laughs where so desirable
