A configurable script that automatically skips recaps, intros, credits, and ads, and clicks "next episode" prompts on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Max, Starz, Disney+, and Hotstar. Customizable hotkey to pause/resume the auto-skipping functionality. Alt + N for settings.
A configurable userscript that automatically skips recaps, intros, credits, and ads, and clicks "next episode" prompts on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Max, Starz, Disney+, and Hotstar. Requires a userscript manager like Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey. Greasemonkey is fully supported too, but not recommended. If I get any requests I'll consider turning it into a webextension addon.
This script works by querying the document for elements that skip through the video. Normally it does this constantly, even when you might want to watch the credits or something. So I thought it'd be nice to add a toggle to disable/enable the searching, on the fly, without needing to reload the website. By default, the hotkey is Ctrl+F7. It pauses the interval, meaning it won't skip anything while paused. Hitting the hotkey again resumes the interval. It also adds 2 buttons to your addon's popup menu or context menu, depending on the addon you use.
The hotkey also displays a brief popup showing whether the interval is paused or resumed, so you won't lose track of whether it's on or off. You can configure the script settings by hitting Alt+N. (the settings hotkey can be changed or disabled) You can also click the "Open Settings" command in your userscript manager's menu to open the popup. You can change the hotkey, disable one of the websites, change the interval rate, change various aspects of the pause/resume popup, or disable the popup altogether. The settings update in real-time without needing to reload the page. If you forget what your hotkey is to open the settings, use the menu command from the Violentmonkey toolbar button.
If there's some website or skip element this script doesn't handle that you want it to, make a post on the issues page with some details, and if possible a valid CSS selector for the element you're thinking of. (right click > inspect source) If it doesn't have a static class or id then give me the tag name, text content, img src, screenshot, or anything else that could conceivably be used to identify it in the DOM. Thanks~

backdrop-filter to apply a blur effect behind them, similar to Windows 10's acrylic glass effect. This is purely aesthetic so you can simply ignore this, but if you use Firefox and want the full visual effect, there's an extra step:
about:config into your url bar and hit enter. Search for layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled and toggle it to true.about:support from your url bar.about:config, then search for gfx.webrender.all and toggle it to true.dom.webgpu.enabled and make sure it's set to false.
