Bug: AppleTV Next Episode button not working after watching 2 in sequence

Server Version#: 1.32.8.7639
Player Version#: 8.29

Hey Plex folks, we’ve been noticing a bug on the AppleTV client in the last couple weeks while binging Schitt’s Creek.

When watching episodes from a series in sequence, reaching the end of an episode brings up the Next Episode view. For the first couple episodes (2-3, unpredictably), it works as expected: selecting the next episode will begin playing it.

However, after doing this 2-3 times in sequence, this thumbnail button for the next episode stops working. Selecting it simply does nothing. In order to play the next episode, you need to back out to the show episode list, scroll over to the desired episode, and select it directly.

There are several other reports here, so it seems to not just be me: Reddit - Dive into anything

Just intuitively, may be related to an attempt to fix: [BUG] Double tapping play next episode skips 2 episodes ahead

It’s possible to work around it, but it is pretty annoying each time it happens. Hopefully fixable!

Seems to be the same issue as here, feel free to combine if it makes sense: After last update click to play next episode only works for the first episode - #5 by tom80H
