This script skips to the next moment of silence in the video. The intended use for this is to skip until the end of an opening sequence, at which point there's often a short period of silence.
Install mpv media player.
Download skip-intro.lua and save it to mpv/scripts/.
The default keybind to start/stop skipping is Tab.
You can change this by adding to mpv/input.conf the following line:
NEW_KEY script-binding skip-key
To tweak the script's parameters you can copy the following code to mpv/script-opts/skip-intro.conf:
# Maximum noise (dB) to trigger
quietness = -30
# Minimum silence duration (s) to trigger
duration = 0.5
