    I am ADHD and Autistic. Like many in the AuDHD community, I regularly listen to or watch shows I've seen many, many times. It's a profound comfort mechanism, especially when trying to fall asleep—a difficulty many of us face. I've also heard this is a vital comfort tool for others dealing with anxiety and depression.
     
    While the web browser version of Jellyfin allows for some customization, the official iOS and Android clients lack a native way to limit playback by episode count. Currently, I have to rely on IOS’s timer by choosing the “stop playing” option, which is frustrating and annoying.
     
    I developed a plugin called Episode Limit that adds a simple moon button (🌙) to the video player. It lets you set a limit (e.g., "stop after 3 episodes"), and the player automatically stops when reached (see attached screenshots)

    Could the Jellyfin team consider integrating this logic directly into the iOS and Android clients?
    1. Accessibility: This isn't just a "nice-to-have"; it's a sleep aid for neurodivergent users and those with anxiety.
    2. Feasibility: I've already built a working plugin (compatible with Jellyfin 10.11+) that proves the logic is sound and easy to implement.
    3. Community Need: Many users have asked for better sleep timers, and counting episodes is often more effective than timing in minutes.
    The plugin is open-source and ready for review: [Link to your GitHub]
     
    I'd be happy to discuss the code, help test, or provide more context on how this helps the community. Thank you for considering this.
