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.
