Auto Complete Episode Threshold​

Configure when episodes are automatically marked as "completed" based on how close you are to the end.

How Auto Complete Works​

Configuration Options​

  • Range: 0 to 3600 seconds (0 to 1 hour)
  • Default: Varies by installation
  • Increment: 1-second adjustments

  4. The system will confirm when the change is saved
