My GF's smart TV auto-plays next episodes, even cuts movie credits off after just a few seconds to try to bait us into the next thing. Maybe its just me, but I generally like to see the credits, hear the end music, etc. Rather than actually escorting us into the next video, this UI "feature" just compels us to shut the whole system down out of annoyance.
- Aissen 9y agoThis is a standard Netflix feature. Netflix runs the same code on almost every (TV) platform: consoles, TVs, set-top-boxes, etc.
- gknoy 9y agoThe windows 10 Netflix app seems to have a good compromise: When the credits (opening and closing) of some shows (maybe only ones produced by Netflix?) start there's a "Skip credits" or "Skip intro" button, but it's not automatic.
- cpeterso 9y agoYou can disable "Play next episode automatically" in your account settings on Netflix's website: https://www.netflix.com/HdToggle https://www.netflix.com/HdToggle The Netflix app on my smart TV honors that setting. Unfortunately, this setting does not stop Netflix from auto-playing the video when you first select it.
