Autoplay next video HOME SCREEN

Hi,
I just brought MRMC version for Android TV. I tried the lite version and the fast response convinced me to use the full version.
I have an issue with "Autoplay next video" on plex, from homescreen.
On the Continue Watching screen, if i play an episode, once the episode ends, the next episode is not played automatically.

If i go in TV Shows menu, select the show, season, episode, and play one, here the next episode is playing automatically.

Can you please add this behavior for episodes only in Home Screen?
Thank you!

Technically this is not possible, or very difficult with possibly odd results.

The way it works is that episode list is treated as a playlist, so it’s just playing next item that we know what it is.

On home screen we get the list of items from plex, but there is no next item for it as it’s one episode from each show... not sure if it makes sense :)

Hi it makes sense,
But i think there is a way to resolve it.
When playing a new file from homescreen, check if you have the tvshow, the season, and then check if there is an episode after the currently playing one. If it is, add it to the queue.
Do you think it is hard to achive?

It’s not hard, but might be time consuming(might take some time to fetch info)... we will discuss internally

Nice :D to have if performance is not much affected.
Maybe you can do the scan with low priority while the current video is playing :), to not affect the performance.
