[Feature] Modify Skipper's wait time #36

Open Outsourced-Logic opened 1 year ago

This feature will not work in the current version of Skipper. The solution will have to be feature #23 Pause Skipper

This feature does not work with the current version of skipper due to the fact that skipper looks for skip buttons persistently every second and interacts when it finds one. Changing the search time to a different variable will not consistently skip after that amount of time has passed in a ad, as the current version of skipper does not have a function that determines if an ad is playing.

Instead, Skipper will skip the ad after an undetermined amount of time, especially after long term use.

The solution to this is to add a function to Skipper that checks if an ad is playing, then starts searching after a custom amount of time has passed. This would ensure that the ad is skipped after the accurate amount of time has passed.
