It might be related to transcoding. So far, after turning that off (actually changing it so it just does 1080p 60Mbs, effectively disabling it) it seems to be working.

OK that is helpful. We'll do some testing with that. Thanks.

* Alone: 23:00, 23:01, 23:02 played the next episode, but struggled. It took about 15 seconds.

* Boarder Control: 22:06 stopped, didn’t play the next episode.

* Boarder Control: 22:07 stopped, didn’t play the next episode until I pressed play on the remote.

I hope this gives a little more insight into finding the bug.

Thanks

@LukeMore info: With Auto-play next episode turned off, when a movie/tv show ends, Emby stops and does not return to the default movie/tv show home screen.

Tested with Android 3.5.21 and 3.5.23.

I bought a lifetime subscription a few weeks ago. I'm beginning to regret it. I really hope this bug can be sorted soon. Currently, I'm forced back to using Kodi. That’s how frustrating my Emby user experience is right now. Apart from this bug, I really like Emby.

Thanks

Can you provide a log from the app with 3.5.23? Thanks.

Hmm what up with that time played on the left side?

The right side shows total run time.

Just curious 😉

Right now we are working on integrating a major update to the video player that we embed (exoplayer), and then we will re-evaluate this. Thanks.

What exactly happened?

Two issues

*When the file stops playing, it doesn’t return to the default screen.

image.jpeg.e74d2e633697236cf10e9154e1786976.jpeg

*Auto Next episode doesn’t work when enabled. it just stops. I have to click on "Next Episode" to play next episode.

OK this one looks content specific based on the mkv extractor error in the app log.

Ah, do you think the bug can be fixed?

I'm sure it can but it's definitely not something that is impacting every single mkv. For example try another one, or try with an mp4 and see how things go.

I've tried about 20 different files, resulting in the same bug. Jellyfin, Plex, and Kodi don't have this issue.

I will convert MKV to mp4 and report back.

mp4 played next episode. The problem I have, all my files are MKV. The emby server has no issues playing MKV files.

UPDATE: Installed Diagnostics Plugin, enabled "Force Transcoding"

 * When the file stops playing, it now returns to the default screen.

 * Auto Next Episode working normally 

I hope this gives you valuable information. If you need a diagnostic log, please let me know.

Thanks
