As you’d anticipate, this can enable playback to cease after a specified time frame. If you have not really managed to go to sleep earlier than the timer ran out, you will get the choice to reset the timer or simply be achieved with it and proceed watching with none extra timer. It is possible for you to to set a particular variety of hours and minutes for the timer, and the remaining time will probably be displayed as a notification.
