Online TV streaming service Netflix has launched a new “Post-Play” video continuation service to its UK customers which will allow users to jump immediately to the next episode of a series without going through all the needless credits and production information.
This is great for all of us TV marathoners out there who can’t wait to get to the end of an episode or fiddle about with a menu system to see where the next episode is.
Once the show has finished the next episode will start to play in 15 seconds if nothing else is done, which we can see ruining our early nights when catching up on what Walt Whitman is doing in breaking bad!.
“Netflix has launched a new ‘post-play’ experience which makes viewing multiple TV episodes easier, by minimising the credits post show and cueing up the next episode,” says the company.
The experience is also available for films; at the end of the feature the credits will become minimized with three further suggested titles to view.
Users that want to call it a day, will still be able to however.
The “post-play” feature will also be available on certain films where at the end of the feature the credits will become minimized with three further suggested titles to view, so if you are watching the first film in a trilogy the next will be recommended and made ready for you.
The new service will be available on the Playstation 3 app and on the Netflix Website with more devices to support the feature in the coming months.
