How do I set jellyfin to stop playing TV shows after a while? Like a “sleep” function.

Tried creating a playlist with only limited number of episodes but it just keeps playing other episodes of same show.

Settings > Playback > Play next episode automatically is UNchecked.

Using the Jellyfin official app on android phone. Don’t mind using a different client, especially if it’s available from f-droid.

Is there a separate android app? (Halt any playing media + turn off screen on a timer.) When watching on TV set, there is a feature that does this.

I have a script in KDEconnect that runs sleep 1800 && systemctl suspend on the jellyfin playing system. so when I’m off to bed, launch it and it’ll go to sleep in 30 minutes.

A drastic workaround. I don’t want to shut down the remote device because its doing other stuff too.

playerctl -a stop should stop all MPRIS compatible players; -p name a specific one.
