Hi, please try Emby for Android 3.5.28 and let us know if that helps. Thanks.

Unfortunately still having the same two issues. It only works when I enable "Force Transcoding"

Thanks

UPDATE: Auto Next Episode works. This test I disable "HLS Subtitles" but it takes a bit longer to play the next episode. You will see it pause a few times before playing the next episode. 

UPDATE 2: I tested a few more files, worked seamlessly 

I hope this helps.

Quote in my post: Beta .40 exhibits the same behavior. Please fix this annoying bug. A hint, if I disable HLS subtitles in the diagnostics plugin, this bug does not happen.

This is a server issue not a client issue

This is a server issue not a client issue. It happens on browser, apple tv app, android tv app... please fix this old bug in the server.

Hopefully, the Emby team can finally fix the bug.

@Luke

After testing extensively over the  weekend, I can confirm that the “auto next episode” feature works 100% with this temporary workaround. It’s been almost a year since I couldn’t use Emby as my daily driver because of this bug.

 

Here’s a quick note on the diagnostics plugin settings I used:

Disabled by default (I have to re-enable after a restart or software update).

- Enable "Disable HLS Subtitles"

 

Enabled by default:

- Disable Hardware Subtitle Overlay

- Disable Subtitle Filtering

 

I really hope you can roll out a permanent fix in the next update.

Thanks

Ok we’ll take a look at it. Thanks.

@LukeAny closer to finding a permanent fix for "auto-playing next episode" ?

Thanks

@LukeJust a friendly reminder that this EOF issue with MKVs has been around for quite a while.

@LukeAny closer to finding a permanent fix?

Wow nearly two years since this problem was first reported and still no permanent fix. I can't say I'm surprised at all. I guess aesthetics are more of a priority than basic functionality here.

I was thinking the same thing.

Also did you notice how the regular Emby fanboys on here chime in as soon as people get a little chippy about the crap service we're getting from this company? You've been really patient dealing with the constant attacks from that "pwhodges" person and honestly I would have told him to eff off by now. These people want to silence anyone who even remotely appears dissapointed with this mediocre service. Like we're supposed to pay for a service and not complain when the Emby staff are obviously stalling and giving us the runaround for years without any timeframe on a fix and ultimately no fix in the end.

For me, it’s constructive criticism and not meant to offend; I would love to see Emby be the best it can be. I bought a lifetime subscription a few months ago, but I find it odd that basic features are missing or non-functional compared to Jellyfin.

• Auto-next episode is not working: I have to install diagnostic options and enable "Disable HLS Subtitles" to get it to function.
• Missing TMDB thumbnail options: There is no TMDB option to optimize my thumbnails with text for TV shows. I currently have to rely on Jellyfin to do the "donkey work" of downloading thumbnails with text.
• Default Functionality: Jellyfin includes the TMDB option for TV show thumbnails with text by default, whereas it seems to be missing here. 
• Auto-next episode : Works perfectly
