With a limited upload connection, uploads often buffer both when a video starts playing and also when you skip an introduction.
I would like for the next episode to start buggering before it’s played, at least until its past the introduction, so I can start watching the video & skip the introduction without having to wait for buffering.
I believe what you suggest is already covered in a wider suggestion asking for an option to manage the buffering behavior (incl. rules to preload content from „Continue Watching“
There’s been another suggestion focusing more on increasing the buffer before playing media.
