Disable play next episode on Roku Channel

I am watching Starz on the roku channel. After an episode ends it automatically plays the next episode. How do I turn that off? Settings > Accessibility > Auto-play video to "Off" does not work.

    There has to be some financial reason they haven't changed it. People have been complaining about it for years now and they either play dumb in their replies or respond with how much they value our feedback. It is almost laughable.

    Every year I do a couple of channels deals through the Roku subscriptions to see if anything has changed - nope. The only thing new this time is that they inexplicably charged me 3x the advertised promo rate on the second month. I use Paypal for my Roku account, otherwise I would have been clueless.

    I do my all of my full price subscriptions through Amazon. Zero problems with their streaming.
