Few months ago I rage quit Netflix because their shows would start autoplaying and nothing I did could disable that. I couldn't read one synopsis distraction free or browse without having to constantly click my GTV remote just to stop the friggin thing from playing. WTF! I'd like to think there were more like me who voted by cancelling their subscriptions. I hope PMs at Netflix who forced this onto their users lost their jobs.

Sign in to Netflix.

Click the down arrow next to the Profile box. Choose Manage Profiles and select a profile.

Under Autoplay controls, uncheck Autoplay next episode in a series on all devices.

Also uncheck Autoplay previews while browsing on all devices. Choose Save.

Had done that (obviously), didn't work on Chromecast with GTV. Had called customer support and filed a technical ticket. Nothing happened. Too late now.
