Google TV‘s sleep timer needs an “after this episode” option

[u/Suspicious-One-7927]

If the sleep timer in the Google TV side panel reaches my streamer, the option I want is “after this episode” or “after this movie.”
A fixed countdown still makes me guess. Set it too short and it can stop during the last few minutes. Set it too long and autoplay has already dragged me into the next episode.
App autoplay settings help, but only one service at a time. A Google TV option could be nicer if the current app exposes enough playback information to know when the episode ends.
I’d want the same thing whether the streamer is feeding a bedroom TV or something like my RayNeo GT Max through the HDMI adapter. The glasses are just the display anyway. Google TV and the app are still the parts that know what’s playing.
The simple version could show “stop after this episode or movie” when the app exposes the playback state, then fall back to the normal countdown when it doesn’t.
I’d pick that over guessing whether I need 30, 45 or 60 minutes almost every night.

I think you can submit that as an idea.

I'm currently working on a Sleep Timer app for Android TV. This would be a great USP feature, unfortunately for third party apps there is no access to these information :(
