I would like to see a playback option for tv shows and playlists called binge, where once selected (like play or shuffle), the video player will auto skip all detected intros and credits as well as instantly play the next episode (No Up Next screen). Without stopping, until every episode is played in the series/playlist with the possible option to activate other playback features like shuffle and repeat all.  
This feature would be great for people like myself, Plex Pass users with a large Plex library, who cut their cable bill, and use Plex as their only streaming service and would like interact with the player as little as possible after selecting what to watch.

There’s already two suggestions discussing the features you’ve described. I suggest you comment/vote in those threads in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

> When a user repeatedly skips intros in a single auto-play session in the same season/series, Skip Intro should become automatic for the remainder of the session. Once auto-skip is activated, the “skip intro” button changes to a “watch intro” button for the remainder of the session, allowing the user to intuitively disable auto-skip for that session. Add an option like “Number of consecutive skipped intros when binging before intros skip automatically”, default to 2. If 0, all intros skip automa…

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.
