Autoskip skit/interlude/instrumental audio files - 3dfx - 2019-01-10

My request:
Maybe I am the only one who wants this feature but if not, maybe it could be pushed upwards in the to-do list of the devsĀ  Smile
I would like to configure that Kodi should skipĀ skit/interlude/instrumental audio files.
In the "advancedsettings.xml" I can configure to ignore those files via regex (excludefromlisting) but it will not show them in the list of files but I want to see them.

Example:
01. Track 1
02. Track 2 (skit)
03. Track 3
04. Track 4 (instrumental)
05. Track 5
06. Track 6 (interlude)
07. Track 7
08. Track 8


So the played tracks should be 1/3/5/7/8.

My current solution:
I wrote a daemon that fetches the title what's played and checks if it's to be skipped or not (enabled/disabled via an anchor file).

The problem with my solution:
Track starts playing and after some delay 1-3 seconds my daemon sends the command to Kodi via json-api to play the next file.
It's not perfect, you hear a few seconds something and then it's get skipped.
