Since the new (and wonderful, thanks!) SKIP INTRO feature works at the individual season level, it would seem obvious that there could (should?) be some tuning features available for the function at that level in our libraries. For example:
- enable/disable skip intro for the season (or series)
- set the detection threshold/window (at least within some given min/max)
- manually set the intro start/stop time in an episode
- allow the detector to use a manually marked intro as a pattern to find/mark all the other episode intros in a season
The ability to disable for a series or even a season would be nice in the even that intros are incorrectly detected. Then disable would hide the SKIP INTRO button during playback, removing the temptation to use it.
The ability to tweak the time window used for intro detection might allow the detection of intros (such as the Aadams Family, which never shows a skip intro button despite having such a clear intro theme song) when there is a long(ish) theme song or it might allow for improved ‘end of intro’ detection in the event that the skip button actually jumps a little TOO far into the beginning of the episode.
Manual marking (or editing) intros would be great for shows that have “Previously on…” sequences before the intro and for shows with intros that don’t fit the detection rules for placement close to the beginning or by changing frequently.
The ability to use a marked intro as a template is probably more of a dream, but it sounds like it could be useful, doesn’t it?
