Yep. I changed that setting months ago when I first heard about it, and I just checked now and confirmed that autoplay is still set to off. But it still always autoplays, at least on previous versions of the iOS app. I'll have to try the new one and I'll be delighted if they finally got around to fixing it. But based on Netflix's history I can't say I'm optimistic.
Aside from it working or not, what kind of idiot company puts a setting like that on their website instead of in the app?
Something must be muffed up about your account, bro.
I just went to the final minute of a Portlandia episode on my iPad, and at the very last few end seconds it gave a link to start the new episode, but it didn't start the next automatically.
This is with the version previous to the newest update, as I haven't updated the app yet.
