What is the difference between "keep watching" and "next episode"?

As the title states. In the Android app. 3.5.12. These 2 seem to do the same exact thing. (this is after one episode plays and there is another to play). I much prefer the way it is in Android TV app, and at least that makes sense. But maybe I do not understand the intent! Enlighten me!

Hi, keep watching means continue the current episode until the credits end.

Keep watching not always stops when credit ends, some now and then the next episode still starts playing

Yes. Keep watching keeps playing. So if left alone both buttons do exactly the same thing. MUCH prefer the CANCEL or whatever it is called in the Android TV version.

If left alone then eventually when it ends you'll only have the next episode button without the continue button.

If that is the intention then it is not working. If left alone the next episode plays, if Next Episode is hit then the next episode plays right away. If Keep Watching is hit it plays the credits then plays the next episode.

In the Android TV app you have the Next Episode button which has the same function, but you also have Cancel (or whatever) and if hit it plays the credits but does NOT play the next episode. This is the one I prefer.

But I may be in the minority, but I do not like the Android version much at all. Just my opinion!

This depends on how you've configured the autoplay option. Either it will play, or it will sit there and wait for you to decide and click something.

This is normal. What happens after that is the same as what I said above.
