Skip Intros Feature

[sundevil67 30]

I have a scheduled task entitled "Detect Episode Intros".. It seems to be running without any problems, except that it doesn't work. I don't recall ever seeing a "skip intro" button, but I'd really like it if I could. I don't have the first clue of how to troubleshoot this. 95% of the TV shows I am watching are from links within strm files.

Is there something I'm missing that must also be done to get this to work? Any others running Emby server on Mac OS been able to do this successfully? 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

There isn't any information in the logs about this. There's only the scheduled task & a select box in the "Playback" option in the settings (below the "home" link in the main admin nav. Screenshots attached are the only mention of this option that i can find, and I've just never seen the "Skip Intro" button..

The "skip intro" button simply doesn't appear.
