I use the skip intro option but is there any way to add or enable skip recap for what is shown from previous episodes? Netflix has both so would this be possible on Plex?

BUT… other shows, they instead spend 1-2 minutes recapping their last episode with a “previously on”. For example the Amazing Race or Big Brother and lots of other shows they will spend a bunch of time before the intro recapping the prior episode stuff. I think it would be cool to have the “skip intro” Button appear at the VERY beginni…
