Yes, I know that Hitcher, but I'm not always close to the keyboard/remote. As many have mentioned here, yet seem to have been ignored, some shows have long credit sequences of upwards of a minute or two. I, and I assume those others here who have mentioned it, would rather not have to sit through those credits and get on with the next episode. Frankly, I don't know why this feature was not included in the first place. Based on all the mentions of making Kodi similar to Netflix in addons such as this it would seem, at least to me, that having the ability to set a maximum time for the 'Playing Next' notification to show before continuing to the next episode would be a natural given. Considering that the Netflix 'Playing Next' notification only shows for around six seconds or so.

I've not seen anyone else request this feature, and to be honest it seems like it wouldn't work very well. Netflix shows the Next Up once the credits play which is specific for each show, but Kodi has no way of knowing when the credits are playing. So you'd end up setting the Next Up for say, 1 minute before the end of a show, but if that show only has 30 seconds of credits you'd miss the end of the show. There's much less margin for error using it the way it currently works.

That's just two of the many I have seen. and the first one has asked several times. I've also seen the question on other sites such as Facebook and on Reddit.
Kodi obviously has a way of know how long the playing time is. If it didn't then how would you be able to set the minimum time for the notification to show at 30 seconds, or a minute before the end of the playing time? It also knows to automatically play the next episode at the end of the current episode. So surely, it must be possible to code it so that you set the notification to appear at say 60 seconds before the end of playing time, then the notification to appear for say 10 seconds (or whatever you set it at) and then skip to the next episode, as it would at the end of the play time. If the addon needs the file to play until the end of the play time then it could be coded for the notification to appear at 30 seconds before end of play time, then after say 10 seconds skip to 2 seconds before the end of play time.
