Several of the media players I used to use have a sleep timer in them. I think that would be a nice feature in the plex media player. Thanks for your consideration.

If you are on iOS, a workaround that works for any application (such as Youtube) is to set a timer on your phone and set the alarm to “stop playback”. Do be sure to set it back to an actual ringtone if you want to set a real timer though!

It looks like there are [third-party apps for Android](https://www.howtogeek.com/220307/how-to-set-up-music-sleep-timers-on-your-phone/) to do this.

Mine does.

FF about halfway through any episode of How the Universe Works - don’t have Auto Play Selected - and have the screensaver selected in the app.

Sleep Timer.
