I'm down to maybe one skip per video I watch, so it wouldn't need to be much of an increase? Thanks! Just wondering, are any of these values able to be safely increased any further?

You read my mind exactly as to what I suspected the problem was but you saved me looking up and figuring out what to set the variables to! Many thanks!!!
