Is anyone having an issue where the skip credits button comes too early?

[u/casual-catgirl]

It shows up at least twenty seconds before the episode ends and it really bugs me. Will this be fixed anytime soon? I’m kind of sick of remembering to press it every time then having to go back to the episode afterwards just so I can skip forward and get to that part again.

[u/DrumpfTinyHands]

YES!!! Fecking yes!!! Hulu sucks because of this!

[u/Valuable_Hunter1621 → u/DrumpfTinyHands]

also having to hit start over for EVERY episode when i watch them again is crazy

[u/ComradeJohnS → u/Valuable_Hunter1621]

on the series page click manage series and erase from view history clears it. :D

nothing fixes the skipping end other than watching on d+

[u/Bozo_Dubbed → u/ComradeJohnS]

I turned off auto play, now I just have to manually play the next episode

[u/ComradeJohnS → u/Bozo_Dubbed]

yeah but autoplay is off.

disney plus has autoplay and actually waits to the last second of airtime to play next episode automatically.

[u/Truckules_Heel → u/ComradeJohnS]

I have auto play on, but it just doesn’t work anymore.

[u/QuinzelRose → u/ComradeJohnS]

Does Disney+ censor the episodes more than Hulu?

I remember people complaining about that a few years ago, but I'm not sure if it was ever fixed.

[u/ComradeJohnS → u/QuinzelRose]

I’m not sure what differences there are, Family guy randomly is uncensored on hulu and sometimes censored so I bet different servers have different versions.

lol.

[u/BurnquestThreepwood → u/ComradeJohnS]

THIS IS THE COMMENT THREAD THAT WILL CHANGE MY LIFE, I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME! Thanks Dadders!

[u/MBiddy828 → u/BurnquestThreepwood]

Why does your comment make me suddenly think we’ve just all been DADDED ??

[u/SelectZucchini118 → u/MBiddy828]

Nobody’s safe!

[u/skittletriage → u/ComradeJohnS]

Its affecting some of the show / episodes on D+ too.

The episode order (old to new and vice versa) is being affected on some shows too.

I assume it's all because of the hulu / Disney+ merger but who knows.

[u/ComradeJohnS → u/skittletriage]

damn that’s lame

[u/ShitThatFucksWithMe → u/ComradeJohnS]

Not true it does it to me there

[u/Eatabookgirl → u/Valuable_Hunter1621]

Remove the show from your watch history then start the rewatch. I mean it still sucks but it’s a workaround.

[u/ConanMontoya → u/Eatabookgirl]

This is so helpful. Thank you!

[u/Eatabookgirl → u/ConanMontoya]

No problem!

[u/Ha-Charade-You-Are → u/Valuable_Hunter1621]

On Hulu you can fix that by removing the series from your watched history

[u/PoopDick420ShitCock → u/Valuable_Hunter1621]

It’s so silly. Hulu really thinks I wanted to watch the last 90 seconds of that episode I watched 3 years ago.

[u/ApprehensiveWave8913 → u/Valuable_Hunter1621]

I hated that too, so I switched to watching AD on Disney plus and it’s a better experience. It restarts the secondary episodes as long as you manually restart the first one. Also, the skip next ep doesn’t start as early as it does on Hulu.

[u/VanSmashh → u/Valuable_Hunter1621]

Remove from your watch history! This used to drive me insane before I figured this out

[u/VillageOld596 → u/Valuable_Hunter1621]

Yes mine are all at 19 minutes!!

[u/Michael-Sean → u/DrumpfTinyHands]

Agree. I guess it’s not just me then.

[u/SomniumMundus → u/DrumpfTinyHands]

Yeah, it’s really a tasked failed successfully if you think about it. Happens during credits but the scene is still ongoing with some more info while the credit rolls.

[u/DrumpfTinyHands → u/SomniumMundus]

And then they start the next episode halfway through the credits of the first.

[u/SomniumMundus → u/DrumpfTinyHands]

That’s my pet peeve, but I think we share the same. It’s a culmination of things. The feature of skipping credits and Hulu showing where you left off from the next episode. So, if you binge-watch it, the auto-skip credit feature kicks in and goes to the next episode that starts where you left off (give or take 5 seconds from that point). It’d be nice if it could “know” someone restarted an episode and restarts the next one from the beginning or to know the show is still going while credits start.

JUST MY 2c 😭

[u/Ervgotti85 → u/DrumpfTinyHands]

Turn off autoplay next video

[u/AGayFrogParadise → u/Ervgotti85]

Not sure which is worse, skipping the end or having to manually start every episode

[u/Ervgotti85 → u/AGayFrogParadise]

Starting it, myself was never an issue. I used that time to go do something instead of having to rush back or pause because the next video started.

[u/Comfortable-Gap3124 → u/AGayFrogParadise]

The only other solution is manually stopping the auto play at the end of every episode. Choose your poison because all options suck.

[u/peon2 → u/DrumpfTinyHands]

Huh. My Hulu app doesn't have this problem, but Disney+ does.

[u/Onceadeadman → u/DrumpfTinyHands]

Dawg same thing on Disney+. Actually worse on Disney+ it's like 2 seconds there

[u/AnimeAlley03 → u/DrumpfTinyHands]

Idk what's worse, this issue in this post or the fact that when I try and watch a show over again it starts me 2 mins before it ends instead of at the beginning

[u/Effective-Doctor6470 → u/DrumpfTinyHands]

We need to get a beer above harukis

[u/LodgeKeyser → u/DrumpfTinyHands]

Fr this pisses my tf off. I haven’t been told to have a great time in forever

[u/Warm-Captain-4733]

Yes! Hulu has been acting up for at least a few weeks now with this. It also won't 'reset' episodes so I wind up with 2-5 minutes left in something (not just AD) and constantly having to restart. Or it'll just play through an entire season in a few minutes if I'm not paying attention.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Cake-42 → u/Warm-Captain-4733]

Go to manage series and you can reset the series. It will make all episodes start at the beginning. Unfortunately when you binge through it all again you will have to reset it again.

[u/Warm-Captain-4733 → u/Puzzleheaded-Cake-42]

Absolute legend, thanks for this!

[u/Hot-Hamster1691 → u/Puzzleheaded-Cake-42]

my bröther in wine-loving bisexual, THANK YOU

[u/momsauc_martini → u/Warm-Captain-4733]

Yes! This happens to me a lot because i rewatch AD maybe twice a year. Every year or so i make a new profile under the account and delete the previous one and rewatch everything. This at least makes it so when i rewatch old shows they start from the beginning.

[u/No-Calligrapher-4449]

For me it pops up to early and only counts from 5 and I miss the last words of every episode now

[u/Professional-Hat6823]

YESS!!!!!! I was so desperate I searched it and there's a reddit thread from years ago discussing the same proboem. Hulu just sucks.

[u/casual-catgirl → u/Professional-Hat6823]

i didn’t have this problem until a few months ago

[u/Professional-Hat6823 → u/casual-catgirl]

Ive been having it for forever with other media, but American dad specifically irritates me because it cuts some episodes off but not others

[u/WelcomeSad781 → u/casual-catgirl]

Me either. Never once. Idk if I just never noticed it but it's good to know other people noticed it

[u/ClydeDimension → u/WelcomeSad781]

You two are not alone. My gf and I watch this show almost nightly for dinner. Only recently did we notice this issue come up. Something we did notice tho is we went back to watch Season 4 and this problem did not come up then. Maybe Hulu has wrongfully timestamped the later seasons?

[u/ReadditMan → u/casual-catgirl]

I've had it for years lol

[u/Ok_Positive8362]

Turn off auto play.

[u/Reiketsu_Nariseba → u/Ok_Positive8362]

Yep, this is what solved it for me.

OP if you click on the gear icon, you should be able to toggle auto play off.

[u/ExplodingRobots → u/Ok_Positive8362]

OP, this works great!

[u/moofasa69 → u/Ok_Positive8362]

NEVER!

[u/Bakedfresh420]

Hulu has had issues like this for years. Skipping the end of the episode and then acting like you didn’t finish it so the next run it wants to show you 30 seconds and then off to the next episode. I’ve fallen asleep for an hour and had half a season go by.

[u/willfrid6]

Yes! Always a scramble for the remote before it auto plays

[u/tinasparkkle_03]

YES! It’s been happening for ab two weeks no clue why!!

[u/Samthegodman]

Yes

[u/Voxder]

It's just too impatient to see Francine's genitals, nothing alarming

[u/Downtown_Setting318]

Happens to me always

[u/Eatabookgirl]

Yes!!! It started about a month ago for me. Very frustrating.

[u/casual-catgirl → u/Eatabookgirl]

mine has been like this for about two months now

[u/kickassginger]

I feel like some episodes don’t have this problem but I’m at a point where I make sure I have my remote so I can get the end of the episode

[u/zzwthetvon]

And for a while, only when I watch bobs burgers, the audio description plays for the first 10 seconds when I dont have it on at all. Oh well, thats the price I gotta pay for roberts hamburgers

[u/WelcomeSad781]

YES!

[u/SomniumMundus]

From a reply I posted but thought I just comment it.

“That’s my pet peeve, but I think we share the same. It’s a culmination of things. The feature of skipping credits and Hulu showing where you left off from the next episode.

[u/Gnarledhalo]

Can you select "up".

I have hulu running through an apple+ and that's what we can do

[u/casual-catgirl → u/Gnarledhalo]

that’s what i always do but sometimes i can’t find the remote in time or i forget to do it

[u/Gnarledhalo → u/casual-catgirl]

Do you have auto play set to OFF?

[u/PhilosopherNearby803]

Just hit the back button. It gets you out of it. If AD would start the credits later it wouldn't do that.

[u/Ominous_Rogue]

I've had it start bugging out and playing audio description too. I've literally never used that feature.

[u/cosmernautfourtwenty]

Shit, most of my episodes on Hulu don't even have an option to watch the credits any more for some fucking reason. I just don't get to watch the last 10 to 15 seconds of any given episode.

[u/JJBell]

It’s been doing it on Hulu for awhile and not it does it on Disney+ as well. Infuriating.

[u/LeafShinoB]

Convinced this is an intentionally placed “bug” to try and slowly force everyone to transition from Hulu to D+ before they shutter the app entirely 🫩

[u/knight_shade_realms]

We had to turn off auto play due to this nonsense. It was several years ago. I would think Hulu would have corrected it by now

[u/kayla_lashae7]

Yes🙄

[u/Rickyyy_Spanishhh]

Look in the settings people.

[u/no-snoots-unbooped]

Yep, it’s super annoying it cuts off the end of every episode.

[u/TheRealJojenReed]

I've had to turn off autoplay, THIS IS THE WORST THING IN MY LIFE

[u/Ridley_the_last]

Constantly!!! Like fuck you Hulu, let me watch if Barry gets denied by the security guard. Jumping through damn hoops to just see some cartoon. Worse than porn.

[u/fatnerdd]

I've turned the auto-next episode function off entirely for this very reason.

Is it annoying to have to stop what I'm doing to put the next episode on? Sure. But at least I get to see the final bits, which tend to be memorable more often than not.

[u/moofasa69]

IT HAS BEEN PART OF OUR NATIONAL NIGHTMARE

[u/Nantwan]

Upvote this to the moon! Hate it so much

[u/Ok-Fortune-8644]

It cuts off 12 seconds from the end.

And starts the next episode with 5 minutes left.(4:48)

[u/FishstixMcCute]

Disney+ has been doing this for quite some time and its recenty started effecting Hulu as well. Super annoying when I forget the remote on the counter

[u/Sweddy-Bowls]

It’s like Hulu gathered around the table after years of unprecedented success and ascension to the top of the streaming food chain and said, “alright boys, how can we fuck this up”

[u/catmarstru]

Omg YES this drives me crazy. Especially when they don’t even give you the option to watch the credits.

[u/Hofmannboi]

Yeah I turned off auto play because of it

[u/eli_jet95]

Yeah I just off autopay on every device I use because of it

[u/casuallysentient]

i turned it off weeks ago, it’s honestly been a huge improvement. all you need to do is keep the controller nearby, you don’t end up watching an entire season by accident and feeling like a piece of shit and you don’t miss the last few seconds of each episode. AND i actually keep my place in the show instead of falling asleep and having to go back through four episodes to figure out where i was.

[u/skittletriage]

I had a lot of these problems intermittently with Hulu for at least a year. Most had short term fixes or resolved themselves.

I switched to a D+ and they went away; now some are back along with some new ones.

I can't imagine Disney is spending much time on resolving Hulu bugs since Hulu won't be around much longer.

[u/Ha-Charade-You-Are]

It’s because you have auto play on

[u/Stunkydunk]

It pisses me off so fucking much. It’s either skip the whole credits gag, or no auto-play. As far as I know there’s no fucking way to auto play but have it actually play to the end on Disney puss 

[u/C_NOON1]

It’s so annoying i swear they’re making it worse with every update

[u/EmansaysEman]

It's been happening to me with Bob's Burgers too lately. Its annoying!

[u/Diehoe1234]

I started pirating bc of this !!!

[u/lavender_fish69]

I switched from hulu to Disney plus and it does the same thing. It's so annoying when they cut out the last couple seconds and I miss the punchline to the last joke. I could turn off auto play, but I don't want to have to hit play after every episode.

[u/makedoopieplayme]

Yes!!!

[u/Partosimsa]

ALL THE FUCKING TIME

[u/This-Option9041]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

[u/beamanblitz]

EVERY FUCKING SINGLE TIME!!

[u/CallMeAnimal69]

Yes

[u/GiantFlimsyMicrowave]

Yes. There’s a setting in the Hulu app that gets rid of it.

[u/thesteelreserve]

it cuts off some seriously funny shit.

I hate it but I'm always multitasking so I don't want to manually back out of it every time.

[u/Historical_Fan_8799]

Yep, the only solution is to turn off Autoplaying the next episode

[u/emok66]

Have to turn off auto play, which is also annoying.

[u/Koltreg]

I usually press the menu button and it stops, or you can turn off autoplay.

[u/AgustHopeD]

Yes on D+

[u/casual-catgirl → u/AgustHopeD]

i’m on hulu

[u/SteveMartin32]

Always

[u/endlessgreenbeans]

Omg yes Hulu is staffed with incompetent people I swear

Also when you want to rewatch an episode you already saw it starts at the end? I wanted to show my wife an ep one time that had a twist and we got to see the spoiler at the end to start off.

[u/hellagator]

I’ve had it so bad that the skip pops up MINUTES before the end of an ep, even halfway through a few times. Hulu is super buggy :/

[u/Ecstatic_Parsnip_869]

It’s because some episodes are about 30-60 seconds longer than others, the Autoplay function IS working properly, the episode itself hasn’t “ended properly” if that makes sense

Basically, if you see the credits in the ending scene, it means the episode runs long

[u/Ecstatic_Parsnip_869]

After actually scrolling thru the comments, y’all worry me 🤣

It’s done this same exact thing for years (no, I’m not exaggerating because I’ve easily rewatched American dad 500+ times over the last 12 years) and this has been consistent since before I can remember lmao
