A sleep timer function would be very handy, especially for audiobooks / music.

It would be just as handy for all the people, myself included, that put a show on their phone before they go to sleep.

Please. This would be really useful for tv shows. Something like Netflix where after a few episodes it asked if your still watching.

Try the IOS Clock app, and set a timer that uses the function “Stop Playing” when the timer ends rather than playing an alarm. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the alarms list.

It works for the TuneIn2017 Plex plugin. That was the last thing I needed to old TuneIn app for.

+1 request for a snooze / sleep timer.

If implemented, it could also help prevent accidental leechers who fell asleep with a show that runs continuously. Bandwidth ain’t cheap in the USA.

Really needed since the podcast feature is out of beta

We need a sleep timer on podcast. I actually use my podcasts to fall asleep!!

I’d love a sleep timer for podcasts and audiobooks. As well as regular movies. In apps that have one, I keep it at 30 minutes intervals so I know that all I have to do is go back 30 minutes and I know I was awake then.

Even more kickass, would be if the timer could get a log on “latest timed shows” or something along those lines. I often listen to more than one book in a period of a few days. It would be nice if I could choose which show/podcast/audiobook I have listened to in the past couple of weeks and have plex send me there. Like a bookmark.

Another vote for sleep mode. I fall asleep with a music playlist on random + repeat on my iPad, and would love to be able to set to sleep in x hours (like pandora for example).

As others have said a sleep timer would be super helpful for those that use media of some kind to fall asleep to.

I agree, a sleep timer would be great.  
It also would be nice, if the plex team would give us some feedback.

This idea gets my vote 🙂

Sleep timer on the IOS app would be a REALLY REALLY good idea for music.

Absolutely and there IS one in the Podcasts section now (at least on my phone). Be great to get it into the other sections.
