Plex has that though

Why do we put up with subpar streaming services

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Wait Plex has that? I've been wanting that forever, where is that setting at?

And is there a setting to decrease the autoplay next episode countdown? It only starts after all the credits have played and still is 10 secs, way too long.

Not all players have it yet and you need Plex Pass but most support it now

If you use an unsupported player and don’t mind a more technical setup you can use

Aaah thanks! So the player I use doesn't support it and I don't have Plex pass, so I'm shit out of luck.

Kinda like "Plex has that though" ASTERISK - Not always and only if you pay.

Higher quality video comes chaptered most of the time, I use that to skip the intro fairly reliably. No need for plex pass!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have the Skip intro button, that works great. But the question was about automatically skipping the intro, so not having to press the button.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Ah, my bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Skip intro/recap and outro. "Moving" shows to Plex greatly increases the quality of the viewing experience.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

They'll copy it eventually. Similarly to how youtube gets all it's features from porn sites, streaming services get all their features from piracy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

then they skip the outro before the episode finishes. feels good to sail the seven seas again

And then blast you with previews after a heartbreaking tragedy

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

All I want them to do is knock off the "are you still watching press continue" button. They have 2-5 minute shows for kids and that crap pauses and asks every 10 minutes. Kids have to get someone to unpause it.

My kid's first words were "hey Google, resume"

Is this r/singlesentencehorror?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

A joke. Both they and I appreciate the voice controls though. It gives them independence. It'll be a shame if ever I'm a forced to hoist the black.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I have a HTPC, doesn't have voice commands lol

I suppose the flip side of that is that you can sleep through all three LOTR extended editions without being asked if you're still watching.

Y'all still pay for media?lol 🦜🏴‍☠️

Always reminds me of an old Brit sketch show where the landlord gets his nose done off the rent rises.

Back when I used netflix, I never used the skip intro feature. I'm one of those people where I almost never skip the intro.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There are some intros where I'll let it play, but most are boring and skippable imo.

If my dogs laying with me when I watch any star trek, I'll let the intro play so I can sing a song about her to the tune.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Aww. ❤️

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Use plex lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

The NetFlix autoplay is weirdly inconsistent. It never happens on my Roku Ultra, sometimes happens on my Samsung Tizen TV, and nearly always happens in a browser.

I have almost never wanted to skip an intro. If it's a good show, they'll have a good intro.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I'm generally binge watching. Idc how good an intro is, after the first episode I'm skipping past it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well, apparently One Piece has like 1k episodes, so I do imagine you would eventually want to save yourself a couple of hours.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's fucking bonkers. Are these 20-30 minute episodes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Price of the brick goin up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

A brick of cocaine?
