Does Jellyfin allow continuous playback until manually stopped?

Does Jellyfin allow continuous playback until manually stopped? - Lemmy.World

Hello everyone, Plex has a “feature” called passout protection but disabling it is hidden behind their paywall. Does Jellyfin allow for continuous playback until manually stopped? I’m debating whether or not to buy Plex pass lifetime right now because it’s on sale. But $95 is a lot of money just to be able to prevent Plex from stopped playback after 3 hours. If Jellyfin allows that I’m going to switch immediately but I can’t find any clear answer to this question. Thanks for any help!

There’s this open feature request for the passout protection feature:

…jellyfin.org/…/are-you-still-watching-prompt

So I guess that probably means things will play continuously?

Personally I’ve never noticed it stopping, it just autoplays the next episode until they run out, but perhaps I’ve never watched for long enough in one session.

I think on an ideological level you should give jellyfin a try regardless of this feature because it’s completely open source and community driveb, no features are pay walled.

Allow to configure a time of continuous watching or number of continually watched episodes, after which the playback pauses and you are prompted wheth
