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.

I can confirm that jellyfin continues playing until it is manually stopped. I once had it play for 12 hours straight without any interaction so I think it is fair to say there is no limit.

Excellent, thank you for the confirmation!
