Multi-Episode files do not seem to work as intended on the Android client - even when the files are named correctly, etc. My understanding is that the second episode should be marked as watched and the client will “skip over” that second episode and play the next one(episode 3 in the example below.)
Ex - Double episode of Season 4 Episode 1 & 2 of The Office.
Here is how I have my files named:
Filename: The Office (US) - S04E01-E02 - Fun Run.mkv
This works correctly on other clients, such as app.plex.tv & windows Plex.
Here are client logs from the Shield when this fails.

Here are server logs showing the successful implementation of this feature on Windows Plex and the subsequent failure of this feature on Android TV.

I found the following threads via search before I posted this, but they have all been closed automatically…
With the latest PMS Beta Version 1.18.3.2111, there are significant improvements on how multi-episode files are treated within in Plex. After testing a bit, Plex is correctly marking all the episodes within the file played (tried on a 2 episode file, a 3 episode file, and a 12 episode file).
That is amazing by the way, and I really appreciate the new feature. Also amazing is that the autoplay feature on LG webOS or Plex for Windows is properly skipping all the episodes contained in the file in …

Hi.
I have an episode which has multiple files. I followed the naming convention Chapter: Episodes Split Across Multiple Files and it works on the latest Windows App and the web interface. It’s quirky (see here ) but it works.
On Android though only the first part gets played. When it ends the player is closed and I am back on the season overview. This results in me not being to play multiple parts episodes other than just the…

When playing file that has more than one episode (Example.S01E01-E02.ext), Plex is correctly marking both episodes as played, but the same episode is queued again when up next/post play screen appears and will play the same episode again.
This implementation should work by queuing next episode correct (Example.S01E03.ext)?:
Not sure if this occurs with other players, but it is for sure occurring on Android mobile.
No response from any employee/ninja so I am opening a new thread.
@DaveBinM @romancamelia @BigWheel
It is a known issue we are looking into among other playback issues on Android.
Thanks @BigWheel . Are we looking at weeks? Months? Years? Kinda disappointing to see these bugs reported as far back as 2 years ago.
i can’t give any ETA or say which order they are being looked into. There are quite a few of them and afaik they are being tackled as quickly as they can.
Ok, thanks for your time.
This looks to be fixed in the latest beta - 8.27.0.29494-beta - I have sideloaded the APK and am testing now. Seems to be working well.
Thank you @BigWheel & @marekszulik !
