HouseOfCards 71 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 The latest update of the Apple TV app caused the next TV episode to play automatically, even though the setting to enable that is disabled. I've toggled the setting, rebooted, etc... Still happens. Any idea if this is a known issue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37167 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 HI, it is a known issue temporarily until we build the feature in the Apple TV app to not auto-advance to the next episode. Thanks for reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBailey 1 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I am puzzled by this - it never used to play the next episode - why has it started doing this? It really needs to be fixed soon - it has been going on for a month or so now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who tend to fall asleep while watching something will wake up to find numerous episodes played while they were sleeping, with no idea where they left off. It used to work, so it shouldn't require much to undo what broke it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBailey 1 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) It seems nobody from Emby is interested in this bug. As a paying member of the Emby community I, at least, expected a response. Edited November 22, 2022 by FamilyBailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are working on a new version of the player. There is a lot of work, I suppose that at some point they will fix it. The list of TODOs is long.

HouseOfCards 71 Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 I get the frustration. It certainly is a particularly annoying bug. We appreciate the work that goes into this stuff, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those that really breaks the experience. You need to remember to stop playback for everything you play. It needs a higher priority given to it.

Archigos 7 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Throwing my hat in the ring... It's STILL auto-playing episode regardless of the setting. At first I thought it was because I'm using the TestFlight version on AppleTV, but seems to be everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought it was because I'm using the TestFlight version on AppleTV, but seems to be everybody. Yeah, this is a particularly annoying issue since it WAS working. I expect that new features have issues, or take a long time to get implemented... but I don't expect something that was working fine to break and be given a "we'll get to it" response. The reason that response is so frustrating is that the entire purpose of a media server is to play media. This breaks that function. It's like ignoring that pausing a movie doesn't work, and saying "we'll see what we can do". I'd like the same urgency given to this as would be given if the billing system went down.

HouseOfCards 71 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 I'm happy to report it's working now, and presenting a "Keep Watching" or "Next Episode" option towards the end, much like the "Skip Intro" dialog... Thanks folks! Steven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archigos 7 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 It does now ask if you want to play the next episode, however, if you press OK to play the next, it goes to a white screen and the audio plays without video. You have to back out to the main screen, then go back to the show because clicking the episode in "Up Next" does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstamas 153 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Not working for me at all. Still playing the next episode regardless of setting and the pop up screen appears briefly then goes away leaving no time to interact with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseOfCards 71 Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 I have to say, I went back to forcing the native player on my Apple TVs because I would randomly get those blank scree or not playing issues. Forcing the built in player stopped all those problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archigos 7 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Forcing the Native player fixed it so that it does play the next episode correctly, but I'd prefer it to auto back out to the list when I have 'play next' turned off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseOfCards 71 Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 I agree it's a little quirky that it just shows the wallpaper if you turn off play next, but it's progress. It no longer plays endlessly which is huge. I can also see future development allowing other things to be done with that screen, like showing suggestions, etc... Right now it's blank, but that doesn't mean it will always be. The native player is a necessity I've found. There are just too many bugs right now without it. It's a step in the right direction...

We can definitely soup it up a bit with the series logo, name of the next episode, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
