Sometimes I dont want to auto play the next episode. At the moment, it auto plays after every clip.

use case: knackered, home from work, might try to stay awake long enough to watch the walking dead but there is a 60% chance i’ll fall asleep so at the end of episode, the next one will start and the theme music will wake me up. Rinse and repeat all night.

I’d like to simply turn off auto play from the outset.

From PlexWeb and the Plex app.
