The Auto-play video setting in the Roku Accessibility settings (if that's what you're referring to) has nothing to do with auto-playing the next episode within any app. It merely stops the annoying auto-playing of a video when you're navigating through the available movies/shows within an app. Unless there's an option within the app, there's no way to stop it (i.e., there is no global Roku option).
