Does Jellyfin allow continuous playback until manually stopped?

Hello everyone, Plex has a "feature" called passout protection but disabling it is hidden behind their paywall. Does Jellyfin allow for continuous playback until manually stopped? I'm debating whether or not to buy Plex pass lifetime right now because it's on sale. But $95 is *a lot* of money just to be able to prevent Plex from stopping playback after 3 hours. If Jellyfin allows that I'm going to switch immediately but I can't find any clear answer to this question. Thanks for any help! Update: Thanks for the responses. I've got Jellyfin set up now and just need to put some time into tinkering with my files to fix a few metadata issues.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023 and will stream on Hulu from May 2.
