I appreciate that Every Streaming Service assumes that since I didn’t watch the final 47 seconds of the credits, that it should continue to recommend I pick up where I left off.
@lexfri Marvel shows with 10 minutes of credits acting like I e only watched 3/4 of the the episode hurts 😂
@lexfri I would rather that than their immediately tucking the credits away into the corner and starting something else in 9 seconds
@jsit Yes. Please. One little preference option would make these services not suck.
@lexfri I also love that they all think I don’t want the first 30 seconds of the video to be in 4K.
@jackamick @lexfri here in the UK, Netflix, for a few weeks, had a film in 400p! That's sub DVD quality!!
@lexfri
It's that way with podcasts as well (not yours, of course). That's when the "advance 60 seconds" option comes in handy.

@lexfri

My hopes, up: ”THERE MUST BE A POST-CREDITS SEQUENCE!”

My hopes, dashed: “WHERE IS THE SOFTWARE ENGINEER AND HOW SHALL I PUNISH THEM”

@lexfri and never an option to ‘mark as played.’
@lexfri I appreciate that the credits I didn't watch - that they insist I see - are for foreign languages that I did not watch with the movie.
@lexfri Peacock does it better. Get distracted in the end of a final episode and you are back to episode 1 without a way to remove it from continue watching. That way you never forget... how much you hate Peacock.
@lexfri We started you where you left off, in the credits of the last episode, but this time you don’t get a “next episode” button.
@lexfri Except YouTube, which assumes that if I’ve watched 45 minutes of a 3-hour video, I never want to see that video again, but would like to start the next one in the series.
@lexfri @siracusa Currently encountering this on a rewatch of ”Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt“, as episodes keep starting in the middle of the end credits. Netflix just sitting there FOR YEARS wondering if we’re ever going to come back for those last 29 seconds, then whooping with joy when we finally do!
@lexfri I call shenanigans…this toot implies you were able to actually find the tile in the app where the service lists the last thing you were watching. Impossible!
@lexfri Plex is quite good at that : it considers you have started watching only if you watched beyond the first 5 %, and watched it to the end if you reached the last 10 %.
It's a bit corky at times, but usually very good :)
@lexfri @siracusa funny, even if you watch those last 47 seconds some of them still recommend you pick up right before the credits.
@lexfri @siracusa Disney is the absolute worst at this
@lexfri don’t filet those last few moments of every podcast 

@lexfri I read this wondering why I never have this problem, and then remembered it’s because I always run the credits out to the very end, until the app takes me back to the menu.

In a former life, I worked on the edge of the entertainment industry, writing software. We found it mildly entertaining to stay and watch the credits, then developed the habit of yelling the MPAA number at the end. This is how we ended up seeing various early end scenes (like Ferris Bueller). Still do it to this day.
