Plex Media Player for Mac (and web player) does not stop autoplay after 2 hours

Hi,

I’ve started using Plex to watch stuff at night before going to sleep and have noticed that it does not stop autoplaying the next episode of a show after 2 hours like it’s supposed to (as detailed here:https://support.plex.tv/articles/202605013-play-queue-post-play-screen/). I’ve tested this with the Web Player in Chrome and with the Mac Desktop app by letting it play for 2+ hours but it just keeps autoplaying without stopping.

Is there anything specific I need to do to get it to stop after 2hours of no user intervention or is the feature just not working?

Server Version#: 1.18.6.2368-97add474d
Player Version#: 1.6.3.1009-57cf57c8

Well sort of from the hamburger menu you can select what plays in a TV series.

Thanks for that, but that doesn’t really solve the problem. The app is supposed to stop autoplaying after 2 hours of no user intervention but it doesn’t. The series I’m watching, for example has 30+ episodes and I don’t know when I’ll fall asleep so just want it to stop if I’ve not interacted with it for a couple of hours, a la Netflix etc and I’d rather not have to remove 20+ episodes from the play queue every time I want to watch some stuff before sleeping, if that makes sense.

I understand that why I said sort of.

In addition, I can’t even find where in the PMP for Mac or on the web to turn off Autoplay. All other iOS devices seem to have the option still to turn off Autoplay, but it isn’t a setting you can toggle in PMP Mac. Anyone have more guidance on this?
