is there a server setting to turn OFF auto play so clients are forced to press a button to start next episode? If so Am I missing it - did not see it under feature request.
Depending on the device there could be some settings. I am unsure about all the different clients. On my Fire TV and Shield TV I can go to Settings / Experience and turn off the Play “Up Next” option.
John is right, this is a client specific setting. I can’t speak to all of them, but I know my PMS and Roku clients have it as well.
Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (client feature)
