Sorry if this is in the wrong area.

I would like to say a huge thanks to the team for adding this feature. This was a much needed addition and the more I use it the more grateful I am it exists.

I did initially have some issues on Chrome when using this functionality. When I pressed the “Skip Intro” button, it would correctly skip to the right point, but the web player would freeze, and error. I eventually figured out that the player hadn’t buffered enough video and therefore froze, so by skipping a little into the intro the player would, very quickly, buffer the necessary amount and then skipping would work.

That was a little cumbersome but still better than trying to eye ball it myself.

So then I was digging around and found this option in the debug menu:

Which completely fixes this issue for me. After this, much less seems to buffer in the player, but skipping the intro works every time and it seems to seek a little better in general.
