I have a cognitive impairment so maybe that’s why but I can only watch shows with 10-30min length episodes. Longer is too much for my brain.

    Watch them in parts.

    Doesn’t really work. It’s a lot of cognitive strain to resituate yourselt within it that my body doesn’t have.

    (I’m kinda suprised you thought I never would have considered that though 😂, like it’s the most basic thing to try).

    I have a script for MPV player that automatically paused the movie at the end of each chapter. I watch movies like TV shows as a result.

    You’d need to have local copies of what you’re watching, and they need to have chapter marks embedded. If you’re interested I can share it.
