When "autoplay next episode" is off, the app still prevents screen from going off

This is kind of a nuisance, because I occasionally fall asleep in front of my phone/tablet, and  ‏it stays ‏on until the morning. In phones that have AMOLED display  or similar  this can ruin the screen, but even without that it just needlessly discharges. Can this be fixed?

Hi, is video playing?

Hi, @Luke

No. It just stays on a screen with a "next episode" button indefinitely. I attached a screenshot

@Luke

Did you see this? I answered quite a while after your question, and I wouldn't want it missed
