Newpipe and Just (video) player have this function, but the former cannot play offline files and the latter cannot play audio files. I can rename the audio file to mp4 and play it in Just player, but it doesn’t have a background play option.

From what I’ve searched on the net, in both apps the feature us implemented from ExoPlayer. On F-droid, Auxio audio player mentions ExoPlayer, but does not seem to have the feature available.
Are there any foss apps that has the feature to Skip silence for audio files?

    mpv player should be able to do it, if you install the script.

      Thank you.
      Found one on the net to be added into mpv.conf:
      lavfi-complex='[aid1] silenceremove=1:0:-45dB:0:any:-1:0:-45dB:0:any:rms:0.002 [ao]'

      Edit:
      The above command causes the visuals to be out-of sync in videos.
      Searched for an alternative and got to know that the api29 version apk of mpv-android allows the use of scripts.
      The skip-silence script is quite good.

      Along a tangent, the skipchapters script is also quite useful, that I’ve started to use mpv more than vlc due to these scripts.
