Auto queue playing watched show?

Is this standard behavior. On my Roku TV when watching a show when it goes to auto play the next show it keeps playing things that are checked as watched. 

 

I always thought emby plays the next unwatched show.

The auto queue functionality queues the episodes in order.  It does not exclude watched ones.

Ok, seems a little un-intuitive. Is this on all platforms?

If you start playing episode 1 again it would not make sense to jump to episode 10 just because the others are watched.

Hmm, I guess it depends on the show. I am mainly watching a show that looks at real criminal cases, so the order doesn't matter. I would rather it not put on a repeat. 

Maybe an option for the user to choose in the future would be helpful.

The auto queue next doesn't really make as much sense for non-serial series (but these are the minority).  In that case, what you probably really want is a view that shows unwatched episodes and then the ability to play all items in that view.

Yeah I guess that makes sense as well. Hadn't thought about that.
