The Android TV and Android Plex clients do not support multi part files with the new player. This is a must have feature in my opinion.

How does Plex Server support a feature, but Plex Android offers zero way to use said feature… This is not even something we should be having to asking for a feature, this is a straight up bug…

I agree – they won’t acknowledge it’s a bug.

I am now watching Star wars rebels and a lot of episodes are stacked. But my android client only plays the first part. It’s a shame that stacked content doesn’t work on android tv

I have confirmed this works on: Roku iOS (iPAD) Chrome Web player Yet, it does not work on Android.

User support to have this bug fixed is there… 27 votes by now. Second highest “android-tv” voted feature suggestion for anythig non-implemented. Third highest “android-mobile” voted feature suggestion for anythig non-implemented. So, our voices are loud, our wish is fair, implementation is solid …

So, Roku now not only plays the multiple parts, but consolidates them into one virtual file. A three part, 1 hour per part video, how shows as a single 3 hour video when you play it. So clearly this isn’t a feature, it’s a bug in Android. I hope this is fixed.

the iOS version also does this, so it seems like Android has just been forgotten here

That’s unfortunate that they won’t agree this is a bug, when it works correctly for web browsers, iOS, and Roku, but not Android.

Agree, it should be a bug and not a feature request, for it worked in the legacy android player. but sadly now you are not able to toggle between the players and forced to use the new player (which also sadly no longer list the date either, and has random freezes when starting next episode in the pl…
