Since we have a skip credits button now, it would be nice to have a user setting that allows us to specify the 10-second countdown. Allows us to disable it so it runs straight through to the next episode / media. The skip credits button makes this more appealing for TV shows where we might just want to run straight into the next episode.

There’s an existing feature suggestion discussing an option to to customize the countdown duration. I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

> Would it be possible in future builds to make the count down timer on the playing next screen be adjusted in the settings. The default is 15 seconds, the way I use the player this is a little annoying. I’d love to be able to set it to just play the next video with out interruption or be able to set it to 1 second. I realize there may be a bit of delay as it ques up and caches the next video but that would much better than the typical 30 - 45 second delay I was seeing. Thank you

Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.
