Hi, Patrick! Thanks for asking that question, I'll try my best to help you.
So, I understand what you're trying to say and I too like to watch a bunch of episodes at a time. In my opinion, the OP/ED doesn't take that much time. It's generally around 3 minutes in an episode 24 minutes long. And I don't think there exist a simple straightforward way to do what you actually want. But you can try what I do. Generally, almost always, anime OP/ED are of a fixed length for all episodes, so what I do is when I watch the first episode I watch the OP (because no anime OP is so bad that you couldn't even listen to it once) and see how much time it takes for it to finish. It will be 90 seconds in most cases, but it could also be 80 seconds or 100 seconds. Now, once you know that exact time you can just use the keyboard shortcut for 10-second forward jump in your video player. Just press it 9 times (for a 90-sec OP) and you'll land exactly where the OP ends. For EDs you can just skip the whole part and move on to the next episode, unless there are post-credit scenes. If there are post-credit scenes then use the same method you used for OP.
I know it's not a very clean way to acheive your goal but it's much better than using a pointer by making a guess about where the OP ends. And I'm certain that you'll be able to save time. Hope this helps! :)
