"Play next episode automatically" setting affects Playlist playback #7776

Description

Description of the bug

It appears that the "Play next episode automatically" setting affects playback of custom Playlists and not just Shows as I would expect. "Episode" is not a word I'd use to describe a video in a Playlist so this is quite confusing. I've also noted that I have to fully log out and log back in for the setting to take effect (at least when I turn on the setting).

I have only tested and seen this issue on the Web Client.

Reproduction steps

  1. Sign in to Jellyfin web client.
  2. Go to Settings -> Playback and Turn "Play next episode automatically" off.
  3. Log out.
  4. Log back in.
  5. Play any video in a playlist with a video coming after it.

What is the current bug behavior?

Currently this will pause automatic playback of the Playlist after every single video is played. This is unexpected and annoying.

What is the expected correct behavior?

I would expect that this preference applies only to playback of episodic Shows.

I'm not sure why this pausing behavior would ever be desirable for a Playlist, but if so it should be a different preference controlling it (IMO).
