Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

The "Play next episode button" will only display if the "Play next episode automatically" setting is turned on on the server. But this means that if you do nothing, the next episode will play. I would prefer to have the option to play the next episode by pressing the button, but not have it play automatically if I do nothing. I can certainly see why some would like to have the default be to play automatically, but the two issues seem to be unrelated to one another:

Some would prefer to have the next episode play automatically, and do not want to see a button Some would prefer to have the next episode play automatically, and do want to see a button Some would prefer to have the next episode not play automatically, but want to see a button Some would prefer to have the next episode not play automatically, and do want to see a button

It also took me a while and another forum post to figure out why I was not seeing the button. It's not at all intuitive that activating "Play next episode automatically" will have any effect on the display of a button that let's me manually click to play the next episode.

Describe the solution you'd like

Thus, I do not think the solution is to have the two options linked. For those that do not want to see the button, they can set the display time in the Roku settings to "0". This will allow everyone the ability to customize performance to their needs.

I recognize this is a reversion of #1099, but I simply don't see why the two options need to be linked.

Describe alternatives you've considered

For now I'm just going to enable the play next automatically. Most of the time I will manually stop playback before the end of the episode. But it is not ideal for those times when I miss pressing the back button.
