It is really annoying. especially as the web interface does not update to say you have watched the episode it stopped at and asks if you want to ovewrite your current playlist.
It should definitely be optional but can understand it is seen as a lower priority to all the other changes such as removing plugins (as long as the new method allows me to add regional channel plugins)
It would be good if there was Desk Mode where it played back to back without stoppage and Couch mode where it stopped for you unless progressed.
It would also be nice, in the current version of events if pressing next did the next 3 rather than just the next 1 before stopping again and then warning you you are about to overwrite the playlist of the single episode you have just watched. (ok, that maybe fixed. I have not tested it yet).
There is so much wonderful technology coming to plex but I will never use any of those released so far (appart from maybe seeing performance increase with subtitles) so it would be nice to see some of the basic UI options addressed (added) where it is not possible to please everybody so when a change is made it is made configurable. Stop after 3 episodes did not happen in the past.
Another is the reasonably recent change to wait 20 seconds rather than 15 between episodes. Ideally I’d like it to be 5 but it got longer with no option. No answer here yet:: Is there any way to shorten the delay timer between episodes?
It would just be nice to have the option to override changes that are user experience based only. Episodes before auto stop, Seconds delay between episodes for example. There may be others.
