Chapter Skipping

[Speedbird757]

I’m having an issue with custom chapter skip definitions. Auto skip doesn’t seem to work for chapters that have multiple words in the title, i.e. using “c:Previously On”. Any idea how to fix this?

No reason a space should matter, can you post the XML data for the media file in question and some logs from a relevant playback session where it's not working?

XML data can be pulled from Plex Web, go to that Movie/Episode and hit "More > Get Info > View XML"

Here's the XML data:

[mdhiggins]

Think I got a fix, you were right it was a space character issue just not in the area I was thinking

68a4230c1cdf1a5a088b031c2e92c76d9c97e828

That should fix it

[Speedbird757]

That fixed the issue, thank you very much!
