Continuous Play shortcomings on new Roku app

Feature Suggestions
1

Before the Plex app updated to the new version on my Roku 2 and Roku TV, I was able to start watching an episode in the middle of a Season or Series and enable continuous play, so, for example, I could feasibly watch Episodes 1-3 with continuous play, then come back 2 days later after watching other things and watch episodes 4-7 with continuous play.

I would like to know if there is a way to accomplish this on the new app, because currently it looks like the only way to watch a show with continuous play is to start at episode 1 and go from there. Honestly that sucks if it is the case. – When I click to start playing any given episode in the middle of a TV season, it automatically stops and returns to the episode screen at the end. I would try starting at episode 1 with continuous play and skipping to the episode that I want to watch (which is still inconvenient but better than nothing) However, there seems to be no apparent way to skip to the next episode with the roku remote control.

Any ideas? is this intentional? any plans to change this in the new app?

Thanks for the reply. I thought I had searched around enough for continuous play topics, but apparently not, so my apologies for not finding that myself. It actually occurred to me right before you replied (after about a week of trying to figure this out) to try clicking the Play button on the list of episodes instead of the OK button, and that did what I was looking for. Anyway, apologies for the hassle. I’ll try to research my issues more thoroughly before complaining in the future.
