Having some sort of server level control for reducing time between episodes would be great. I believe on Apple TV it is around 15 seconds.

With auto-play enabled it should be 15 seconds in all clients.

There’s an existing feature suggestion asking for an option to adjust that countdown. I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting/dispersing votes.

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.

I’m therefore going to close this thread.

There’s also an existing suggestions to have a toggle for the countdown (option to disable it and immediately jump to the next episode):
