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 stopping 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!

Update: Thanks for the responses. I've got Jellyfin set up now and just need to put some time into tinkering with my files to fix a few metadata issues.

Ah, yeah I guess I probably should've specified my client sorry about that. But I would be using Android TV. I'm specifically looking to leave playback going over night while I sleep because I like the background noise so this answers my question and saves me a bunch of money. Thank you. Looks like I'll be switching!

The AndroidTV client does notably have a quirk in that it'll stop playing at the end of a season if doing an autoplay of a TV show and playlists don't seem to work for TV shows yet, so unless you've got something with long seasons you can put on, it might be best to make a collection and play that.

Off topic: Few Android TVs also have "Audio Only" mode.
