Is there something I’m doing wrong?

I’m using the android mobile app but I can see people also halve the same problem on other devices.

What exactly are you doing and what do you get that’s different from your expectations? Just trying to establish what you mean by „not working“.

I have passout protect set to “after 1 hour,” therefore expecting that the show should stop playing after 1 hour, but it continues all night until my phone dies.  
Autoplay is on, maybe I need to turn that off?

I have the same issue, seemed to crop up in the last month. Tried different passout times and still plays all night.

Running it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10
