How can I stop auto-play on Apple TV?

I don’t care for auto-play and would like to find out how to stop it.

I rarely watch two of the same shows continuously so it doesn’t benefit me.

can you orovide options as to stopping autoplay?

Thank you!

On the Apple TV box, any auto-play functionality is managed per app.


For the Apple TV app, there is a configuration option here:

Settings﹥Apps﹥TV app﹥[ᴀᴜᴛᴏ-ᴘʟᴀʏ] Play Next Episode﹥On|Off

and

Settings﹥Apps﹥TV app﹥[ᴀᴜᴛᴏ-ᴘʟᴀʏ] Play a Recommendation﹥On|Off


Other apps may or may not have similar settings.
