On Plex clients you can go to a season and just press play. This is a fantastic feature and really helps with my binge addiction. However, I fall asleep watching TV a lot. When I use Netflix it generally pauses the video after 3 episodes or so. Would it be possible to add that kind of feature and have it configurable on a server level? To add a cherry on the cake, would it auto be possible to be able to configure it on a per show basis? (ie. shorter shows could be set to auto play more before asking) ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate (while this one was here before, it seems to have been abandoned / no votes) > [@Adjustable time or episodes for continous play](https://forums.plex.tv/t/adjustable-time-or-episodes-for-continous-play/696585): > > Currently using Plex app on Samsung smart TVs. Is there a feature that allows you to chose how long playback will run before asking you to continue playback? Or Maybe variable number of episodes in a series to play before asking to continue? Like to go to bed watching the office and it keeps playing. ---
