    TV Series improvements - Skip Intro, Next Episode Button, and Auto-Play Options

    I own a few series on Vudu, but I'm certain I'll be utilizing it more once The Office is removed from Netflix.

    I see, "Auto-Play" is a feature. Not sure how long that's been working. But I notice there is no options. Not that I can find, to enable/disable auto-play.

    1a. Add auto-play options to enable and disable. (Sometimes I fall asleep to shows, so I'd prefer to just play one, and not have it run endlessly)
    1b. Enable auto-play when credits begin.
    2. Skip Into. Another feature to make watching series more user friendly.
    3. Add play next and previous episode button, for those episodes we want to skip. Like Scott's Tots.. i.e. |<< >>|

    *Auto-Play doesn't seem to work with Android + Chromecast. "Bing Watch" is enabled, but it doesn't keep playing episodes. Glad to see there is an option.

    Only if all of that is OPTIONAL and configurable through user settings. Netflix's "Skip Intro" has horrible implementation that other services have sadly copied. It's fine to have the option to skip intros and hit the Enter button to do so, but the "SKIP INTRO" indicator should NEVER appear onscreen when you actually do want to watch it! I usually watch shows complete and it's simply annoying to have that pop up- I won't pay for any service that does this. Since shows purchased on Vudu are supposed to be the same as purchased discs, I expect that I will always be able to view them complete with no intrusions. If I see a "SKIP INTRO" popping up onscreen with no way to disable it, I will ask for my money back on all purchases affected by it.

    That said, Vudu has had "chapters" for a while but they seem to just divide the show/movie into equal segments- they could easily chapter these just like DVDs instead and make it easier for people to skip to certain parts. It seems most services though have forgotten that some of us still want to watch things complete and uninterrupted, and have made that impossible to please those who would rather skip around.

    Added- the "Auto-Play" that exists now can be turned on and off in user settings. When it was first implemented, there was no Off setting and it would display an annoying countdown covering half the screen at the end of every show, cutting off the last few seconds even when there was dialogue all the way up to the end. I did not purchase any shows on Vudu while this was happening, thankfully they actually listened to user complaints about it and added a way to turn it off. I hope they continue to respect their content and viewers even when other services do not.

      Apple TV has no Auto-Play. It's incredibly frustrating because this lack of feature seems ridiculous. This is something almost anyone streaming expects or digital platform has.

        I would very much like skip recap and skip intro buttons. Then again, I would also like when I watch multiple episodes that when they system automatically brings me to the next episode (or i clicked when offered) that they don't leave the previous episode in the continue watching section with more than 10 minutes of the episode left (making it more annoying to restart later).

          EXACTLY; thank you

          I agree 100% with Alan Smithee and couldn't have said it better myself. Please keep it so it starts at the beginning and ends and the ending of the credits, playing straight through, with NOTHING EVER popping up on the screen.

          I can't emphasize enough how much I loath those UI behaviors when I run into them on other services (like threatening countdowns popping up on the screen, nagging things popping up about skipping the intro or credits, things playing that we haven't specifically selected, "auto previews" or whatever, etc.) and how much vastly better Vudu/FaH is for getting it right by playing through from end to end with nothing ever popping up on the screen. Last resort, if any of this stuff is ever added then please make it configurable so that those of us that hate that stuff can at least turn it off (or better yet, keep playing cleanly the default and those who prefer intrusive UI behaviors can have to turn them on). Of course, not meaning any disrespect to those who like that stuff; I even have a family member that doesn't like watching the credits, which has lead to many a friendly debate when I'm visiting. But as far as I'm concerned, the show starts at the beginning and ends at the end of the credits.

          Thank you
