How can the Video auto play or continuous play be disabled?

You're welcome. Thanks for the additional info.

I would like to keep this thread alive. It is still an issue for me too. Thanks.

This is not a solution but a work-around.

Assuming the subsequent programme of the series is not loaded onto your IPad then turn Wi-Fi off. The system seems to realise it CANNOT load the next programme in the series and doesn't try. Of course the implication of this is that the code must be in IOS8 to not run the next episode and hence a very simple bit of extra code should give us the choice to play sequentially or to stop at the end of the programme.

Time to batter Apple about this... or maybe just dip them in toffee. Sorry!

I agree; this is very frustrating and whilst setting a timer / turning off wifi do provide a workaround neither provide a great user experience. It's disappointing that this functionality was re-introduced without making it optional, I don't think it's a big ask.

If you want change you need to contact Apple directly at the link below.

Thanks - have already done

You're welcome. Hopefully the problem gets fixed.

Sorry to hear about your video issue. I'd just like to say you are not alone. I have this problem too. It did not occur before iOS 8 and I have been told by Apple that this is a "feature" and is "expected behavior." This is a bug in my opinion. They did the right thing with the quicktype feature. It's on by default, but if I don't like it, I can flip a switch and turn it off. I see no reason why you would want the continous play feature, but the least they could have done is give a switch to turn it off. I hope they do soon in an iOS update.

I also want my native video app to stop the continuous playing... and.. it has mixed up all my season 1 episodes from different shows and so on... so the continuous playing just starts the next episode in a completely different series... and i really don't want that.. it is really hard to keep track of watched shows if it's just shown as seen when you fall asleep and it plays another 3-4 episodes (from mixed shows) before running out of juice 😉

i really just want the old iOS7 sorting back... every show in ONE place... not all together in one big mess....

Was this issue ever fixed???
