Like neflix where they give the option to skip the intro it would be great if a setting were added to allow it. When editing the show either a preset directory like the databases. Or allow for a preset time to add the “do you want to skip”, would make it easy. This will be a overall preset for all episodes. Or for each season.

Also the option at the end of the movies or TV shows that will minimize the video for the next episode or for suggested movies. Just like above to add a setting to set a time or grab one from a database. This will set the time for every episode in the show or per season. And for movies it will be just once.
