[Feature] Merge multiple segments / skip adjacent segments with threshold parameter #21

Closed stephen304 closed 3 years ago

I got tired of waiting for 2 skips for ad reads before intro segments, so I made this and use 1.0 as a threshold and it seems to work great!

Note: This would change the default behavior to skipping multiple overlapping segments in 1 skip, I think that's a nice improvement if the code seems safe

I also adjusted the minimum segment length check to apply after merging segments and added some comments

Seems great, I'll look at it this afternoon. Do you have an example of such a video with two adjacent segments? I never saw that :thinking:

Linus tech tips is a good example, since nearly all of their videos have a sponsor right before the intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWSQ7Cj_n5M

That's super smooth, thanks!
