Icon on playback screen mystery

I’ve never previously noticed 3 icons in the upper right hand corner of the video playback of a show. The middle is obvious CC for closed caption, the third I recognize as the Cast icon, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out the first icon that looks like 3 boxes with a loop overhead (connecting box 1 & 3?). It turns blue if I touch it, but I can’t see that it does anything. I’ve searched the blog, but must not have the right terms to find anything.I suspect I will have a SMH reaction when someone clears this up for me, but thank you all the same.

It is the com skip icon.

What playback device are you using?

Not every device/app looks the same, or has the same features…

not everyone is using the same app/device as you :neutral_face:

Does it resemble the logo for commercial skip

That must be it. I’m using a Galaxy Tab 10 inch.

Thanks!

It’s not as detailed as that one, but that must be what it is.

Thanks for helping solve my mystery.

Further confirmation. This is from a 10 inch Samaung Galaxy Tab A tablet:

As others have reported, it’s the on/off toggle for Automatic Commercial Skip.

Yep. That’s it. Once you know it’s commercial skip, it’s easier to see the logic of the icon design. Thanks.
