Option to show "Skip Intro/Credits" button only when UI Overlay is active

Feature Suggestions

I would like to suggest an addition to how the Skip Intro and Skip Credits buttons are displayed.

Currently, if a user disables these buttons to avoid on screen distractions during playback, they are also removed from the UI overlay. This means if you decide you actually want to skip a specific intro, you have to manually fast forward rather than having a one click option.

I suggest adding a player setting (or changing the default behavior) so that:

1. The Skip Intro/Credits buttons remain hidden during “clean” playback to prevent distraction.

2. The buttons automatically appear as part of the UI overlay whenever the user interacts with the player (e.g., pausing or bringing up the seek bar).

This would provide the best of both worlds: a distraction free viewing experience without losing the efficiency of the skip markers when we actually want to use them.
