auto-accept Certificates

please add an option in settings to automatically accept Certificates permanently or for 24 hours.
i stream Pluto.tv on VLC and every time the "stitcher" changes to an additional stream (commercials), this Certificate message pops up and interrupts the playback.
thank you.
(also see my other post about the audio "remap" filter, when remapping only the center channel, it needs to include both left and right channels as mono output)

For obvious security reasons, we are not going to do that.

understood, but some of us are more advanced and understand the security risks involved, and when it comes to pluto.tv, the risks involved are extremely low.
this particular website changes their certificates more often than necessary and as a result, the playback on VLC is interrupted often.
still, it would be nice to see this option included in settings (for advanced users) even though i know now, you wont add it.
i would prefer to use VLC for playback instead of utilizing their website for playback.
thanks for the feedback Remi.
