End of show skip buttons - misleading GUI ?

Not to be too fussy...  but has this annoyed anyone else?

Near the end of a show a window pops up with a countdown which will skip the ending you are currently watching. You are given two options and a countdown:

The option is either the play arrow  '>' or the close 'X'.

Does the play mean 'continue playing' or does it mean 'skip to next episode'?

Does the 'X' mean close this episode or close the option ?

You have 30 seconds to decide... or remember what it did the last time it didn't do what you meant 😉

Why not use the  fast forward button  >>  or even skip to end  button >|  icons?

Hey there @NotMyself. Thanks very much for posting, and for your feedback 🙂
Just wanted to confirm that when watching On Demand and those options pop up at the bottom of your screen, selecting '>' skips to the next episode and 'X' will close the option.

Let the Community know if you have any other questions.

The new buttons really spell it out! Now I can't confuse them. Thanks!
