Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sounds app on TVs

The next episode in a series will play automatically. At the moment, it isn't possible to switch off autoplay on the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sounds app on TVs.

At the moment, autoplay on the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sounds app will only play the 100 most recent episodes of a programme. If you're listening beyond the most recent 100 episodes, autoplay will not work as expected. We're aware of this and looking into it.
