Next episode plays automatically, regardless of setting

[Geoffevans42 1]

Hi there,

In the past week or two, I've found that Emby has started disobeying the "play next episode automatically" setting. I have it turned off, but when I play an episode of a show, it continues through the season. I did have a look at this topic, but the relevant step of "turn it on, then off" had no effect.

This is happening in the web client and the Android client.

Logs attached. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi there, how exactly did you start playing?

[Geoffevans42 1]

Played the episode from continue watching, but it also occurs when selecting an individual episode from a season.

How have you configured your user options?

OK and what makes you think the next episode is playing is playing automatically?

It's been happening when I play Star Trek episodes at night to sleep. I'll wake up, and it'll have gone onto another episode.

I just opened an episode to test on my laptop, skipped right to the end, and it proceeded to start the next one.

Just tested again, and the "Next episode" button started advancing:

And then what happened?

Well, oddly enough, nothing happened on my PC. But I just now tested on my Android tablet, and it did start playing the next episode.
