Hi guys,  
I’m running PMS v1.1.4.2757 on NAS and I’m unable to add audio tacks to the end of the current queue, using the ‘Add to queue’ feature.  
Instead, the new tracks are added as next in the queue and, subsequently, the previous ones are lost. Instead, I would expect this behaviour from the ‘Play next’ feature. This occurs both from desktop web client and the android client so, I believe it has to do with the server itself. Please let me know your thoughts.  
Thanks  
Marco

I’m having the same experience. This used to work properly when “add to queue” would add a track or tracks to end of the current queue. But now it adds it next. Hope this can be resolved.

This issue hasn’t been resolved with the new v5.0 Android app. But maybe the issue is on the server side, not client. No new server updates available yet. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Having the same problem, have been for a while just never posted about it. “Play Next” and “Add to Queue” effectively to the same thing… It’s pretty frustrating.

I just updated to the latest Plex server version 1.2.7.2987 but still not fixed unfortunately.

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?
