Why would you not enable the End Credits button for the entire credit length? It seems to be around about 8 seconds, just enough time to find the remote and notice the option is gone completely. Increase it’s duration to the whole credit scene or at least let it linger much longer, maybe 30 seconds or until end-of-file for older movies with barely any screen acknowledgements.
The button is only shown for a short time so that it does not bother those that may not want to use it. If you miss it, you can call up the on screen controls and the button is there too. On your LG TV, you do that by pressing the up arrow to bring up the controls, then right 2 times to get to the “skip credit” option, then ok.
This works the same for “skip intro” too.
Tapping the Back button on the remote is more effective then. Please include an option for a Skip Intro/Skip Credit timer. You could make the options 10 secs, 30 secs, 1 min, Entire Sequence, (whichever is shorter). For example choosing 30 secs on a 20 sec intro would just show for the whole sequence and not into the episode. Currently the option is only useful if you have the remote in-hand, and after a 2.5 hour movie I doubt that’s the case for anyone.
Some people love credits and can easily choose the 10 sec option or just turn it off entirely. Other people like me don’t care at all, but the button is pretty useless in it’s current implementation unless you can grab the remote super quick. This is my same complaint with how Netflix and other streaming companies implement this type of stuff. It’s way too quick for most situations to even be considered useful.
Tapping the Back button on the remote is more effective then.
The back button is reserved to go “Back”, so it would back out of playback.
Please include an option for a Skip Intro/Skip Credit timer.
Please make a feature request. There are a few other requests related to this button but I couldn’t find one regarding the amount of time it’s shown on the screen.
Yeah, which gets me back to the same screen. It would miss any after-credit scene, but does pretty much the same during the credits.
This is the feature request page 
You got me.
Doh! It’s perfect, if you pay attention to where it goes it is still available only bothersome aspect is it’s white; not off white or transparent which means HDR glare. So is on screen more than long enough!
How is it perfect? Take The Thing for example, it shows up for 10 seconds and disappears BEFORE the movie even ends and doesn’t acknowledge the short scenes within the credits. Yes, you can click a button to bring up the bottom navigation and scroll over a couple of times to the skip credit down there, but it would be a lot more useful to have it show for 10 seconds and then dim and turn transparent while still on the main screen and also skip to the next post-credit scenes that aren’t just at the very end. So no, not at all perfect nor on screen enough.
I do agree about the white though. HDR can make pure white very bright.
@smann If it’s not detecting scenes between credits, that could be a bug. We can’t always catch these scenes so we’ll need to look into it. Which movie are you referring to?
I got them mixed together since I watched them back-to-back one day.
The Thing (1982) has the Skip Credits show up a whole 50 seconds before the end of the movie (no mid-credit scenes).
The Thing (2011) has the Skip Credits show up a couple seconds after the end and miss 8 of the 9 mid-credit scenes; it jumps to the last scene only. The audio for these scenes runs pretty much the entirety of the start of the credits to the end of last scene as well, so it really should only show the Skip Credits button at the very end of the last scene.
What is the “Marker source” setting on your server? I’m wondering if you have it set to use the online info and it’s wrong for your specific video. Change it to local and rerun the analysis, see if it changes.
It’s set to “Both, Try Online First”, but I’ll change it and let you know. I’ll specifically force the analysis on those files, but it might be a bit.
@MovieFan.Plex Same results, but not sure if it’s done the analysis yet. Is there a way to specifically tell when the analysis was performed in the XML file or so?
I see this for the final marker…
<Marker final="1" id="189051" type="credits" startTimeOffset="6067584" endTimeOffset="6515094">
<Attributes id="189051" version="4"/>
</Marker>
Transparency is good. I have witnessed the prompt come up early on an episode of something; tried to figure it out and noticed the music starts in the background just before credits roll.
Not enough experience yet with it yet but I watched Rogue Knight Redemption and was impressed how it skipped to the one scene midway through credits then the prompt coming up again. Lot of scenes throughout sounds complex ain’t nobody nor nothing expecting that, probably short too does it at least hop to the first one?
Think I’ll turn the use online off too just in case. Haven’t scanned credits (again) yet did a fresh install just yesterday
@anon18523487 Changed and re-ran analyses. Still the same outcomes: Extremely early on the 1982 one, and jumps to the final mid-credit scene on the 2011 one.
Hmm. I wonder if it didn’t re-analyze. Did you see the credit detection job show up in the activities? Might need to do a Plex Dance to make sure it actually runs.
It showed up for both. Did the full dance anyway, still the same exact results for both.
