Add To Queue not working properly

This topic has been mentioned in other categories last year, but they’re now marked as Answered even though the issue is not resolved. Opening a new topic to garner more attention. These are the older threads:


It appears that the Add To Queue feature in Music doesn’t work properly. It essentially behaves like the Play Next feature. I’ve tested this in the Plex Web app (Chrome) as well as Plex for Android.

When you’re listening to an album and then add another album to the queue, rather than have that album appear at the bottom of the queue, it adds those tracks next. I believe this is an issue with the Plex Server software not the client.

I’m running Plex Version 1.4.3.3433 on a Mac Mini Sierra (OSX 10.12.3). It would be great to get this fixed because it hasn’t worked properly since last year sometime. Thank you!

Same issue here, been waiting patiently for a fix for while now. I’m running plex server on Linux and using the Android client.

I am running the latest Plex Pass version and if I add a video to queue or play next in chrome it plays immediately along with previous playing video at same time. The only thing that works for me is creating a playlist to play the videos one after another that I have selected.

This issue is not resolved. Just leaving this thread open. I’m now running server version 1.5.5.3634.

Still open on 20170628 server version 1.7.2.3878 web version 3.7.0

I find that “Add to Queue” works like “Play Next” the first time that I use it to add to a play queue. After that it works correctly.

Is it possible that this is a bug on the browser side?

I believe it occurs when the queue display is already full. I am not sure and if somebody could confirm it would be helpful.

It doesn’t occur when the queue display is full. For instance if I’m playing an album with just a couple tracks, then add another album to queue, those tracks are added to immediately play next. The rest of the original album gets tossed to the bottom. So Add To Queue continues to behave like Play Next.

Frustrating. Add To Queue used to work on older versions but it hasn’t for almost a year now. Not sure if any devs will ever see or bump this thread.

I just upgraded to the lastest version of the Plex Server: Version 1.8.1.4139, and it appears the Add To Queue is finally working properly on my Android app. Wow! Anyone else getting similar results?

False alarm. It doesn’t appear to be actually working any longer. Not sure what happened.

“Add to queue” still isn’t working properly. From all clients (web, mobile, Plexamp) “add to queue” has exactly the same effect as “play next”.

This appears to be the wrong behaviour and should be fixed: “add to queue” should add the items to the end of the current queue

It isn’t working on PC or Ps4. That is a core feature for any player for decades. Shame on plex for ignoring this. I’m better off just doing without plex going to the file network and playing them. That is extremely sad

The “Add to Queue” feature in Music is broken in Plex Media Player for me as well. It erroneously behaves the same as “Play Next”, and plops the selected tracks into the middle of the current playlist. Please look into this!

Me too. With the web version, with the latest beta of Plex for Apple TV, with the latest version of the server (For DSM (Synology) to this date. Very annoying!! :angry:
