Watching anime with automatic opening/ending skip

Watching anime with automatic opening/ending skip works in an IPTV player like it does for regular shows, but often uses a separate, anime-specific database, since opening/ending timestamps are exactly the same repeated clip every episode.

Why anime has a separate approach

Anime openings and endings are typically consistent per season (same music, same visuals, every episode), which makes automatic recognition more reliable than for shows where intros sometimes vary per episode.

Two sources, tried automatically

If the anime-specific database returns no result, a good IPTV player automatically falls back to the regular show database (and vice versa) — you don't need to choose which source is used yourself.
