Feature Request

Hello good people at Plex.

Please Please Please can we have automatic play when i am watching series. At the moment i have to go into the episode i want then watch it. I then have to go back out to then go to the next episode. this seems like a easy enough feature to auto play them as i know netflix does this and also amazon does.

Im using my PS4 app and it doesnt have this feature.

Now this i can deal with but when my young son is watching his cartoons that might only be 10 mins long it becomes very annoying to have to come running evey 10 mins while im doing house work.

So please can we get this up and running. Im sure im now the only one who would want this feature

Hi @jolly2010 this feature is landing in our next release. Thanks for the nice email.

@mattseeley Does that mean it landed with today’s release?

Hey @matthewrobb. It did but it’s not the full feature we wanted to introduce. It got a quiet launch as we make it work the way we really want it to.

The continuous play works when you press Play on a Season, Show, or play a video in a Channel. Playback continues without interruption from one video to the next.

Anytime you play an episode from an Episode pre-play screen (the one that shows all the metadata, it will only play one episode and stop. Ideally after any episode you get a brief interstitial before playback begins on the next episode. As a user this is what I expect to happen.

I’m doing what I can to make this happen asap. Navigating from episode to episode makes me cranky!
