    This is awesome. I would like to learn more about video segments. What is the best way to tag them? Is it something that can be done with MKVtoolNix or are there automatic tools available?

      Both MKVToolnix and Handbrake allow you to define segments (though they call it chapters). You set these chapters either by providing exact time stamps or by loading a XML file that does it for you. The generating of those XML files could in theory be crowdsourced, but I don’t know of any platform that does this.

      Alternatively, and this is the solution I use, you can use a userscript for mpv called “chapters for MPV”. This plugin allows you to define chapters more visually. Simply pause the video at the right position, hit “n” on your keyboard and then enter the name of the segment.

        I should add, that you also need to install a plugin, that then converts the segment data into something jellyfin can use. This plugin is part of the official catalogue

      There’s a plugin for Jellyfin that will analyze the audio of your content to automatically tag intros, recaps, and credits
