*** *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][config-dir].


        * you can change the order or adjust times in that file.
