*** *Enable the 'skipper_intf' interface in the 'Set Interface' menu. This only needs to be done if it is not already enabled. Restart VLC after enabling.* ***

Usage

1. From the VLC menu, select  View > Super Skipper .
   
2. Set times for openings and endings and a profile name which is compared to the name and artist of the media file.
   
3. If Profile equals or is a substring of the name or artist then that profile will be used.
   
4. For simplicity all special characters and spaces are stripped before comparing, so file: test123.mp4 will match with profile: t e$st1#2@3mp4
   
   • Search priority is names first then artist, from top to bottom of list. Uses first found match.
     
   • Profiles are saved in a file named super-skipper.conf in your VLC config-directory.
     
     • you can change the order or adjust times in that file.
