Playback issue when autoplaying next episode

[tOLJY 49]

Hi,

I've noticed that when playing episodes in a series that sometimes when it stars the next episode that there is no video. The background image for the series is shown and the audio of the episode plays, but no video.

Log file attached, most recently occured at 4:50/51 pm local time 28 December 2025.

I have the same issue. Seems random.

HI, we are looking into this. Thanks.

It's been months and months. Is it actually being looked into? What's it's priority? Is it low or high? It's becoming so painful to use emby when you can't autoplay episodes...

HI, currently we are working on integrating a major update to the video player that we embed (exoplayer). We will reevaluate this after that. Thanks.

Hi, please try Emby for Android 3.5.26+ and let us know how that compares:
