I cast from Chrome browser to Cromecast.
It used to be 15 seconds but after the recent UI revamp it has become 20 seconds.
Ideally I would like to shorten it to 10 or even 5.
I realise there was a discussion on Reddit but that’s not the official plex forum.
Thanks,
Rob.
I know this topic is 4 months old, but I don’t see any responses to it yet.
I too would love a way to shorten this, even if it was library specific.
We cast from our phones to Chromecast, and in the 20 seconds feels like an eternity in between episodes.
Hopefully this is something that can be modified in a future release!
Surely there should be at least some reply to this by now, even if it is “No, there is no way to edit this and we decided it was in the watchers’ best interest to wait 5 seconds longer between episodes.”
Sorry. That was harsh.
Usually the Plex team are on the ball and very helpful but a response on the decision to increase the delay and why it cannot be edited as a preference would at least be nice.
Or… A reply.
Cheers,
Rob.
Bueller… Bueller…
Same here, I’m wondering why. Granted we can’t adjust the netflix timing too but at least netflix is 15 secs iirc and not 20 secs. It shouldn’t be hard to add in a textfield in the settings of the roku app, web app, etc., and get the timer to pull it from settings instead of hardcoding it to xx secs. I wish functionality is there before changing of UI (which it seems like they like to do a lot)… maybe a reshuffle of work assignment needs to be in order?
Would like to see this too. C’mon plex…this topic is nearly 9 months old with no response? Especially considering most here are plex pass subscribers. 
Looks like the Plex team is compleatly ignoring this.
If there was just one reply to justify the fixed 20 seconds or would make me think that paid (or any) user input was important.
I do remember getting good feeback on UI queries even if it was to explain why what I was asking was not possible.
Despite lack of feedback here I have noticed that the chromecast episode interval is back down to 15 seconds again with no update to plex server.
It would be good to understand where this time interval is set (plex server, plex client player, target reciever etc chromecast) so that issues regarding the interval could be correctly reported.
Cheers.
I want an answer too, this is very frustrating. There should be 0 delay between episodes or items in a playlist. Emby plays the next episode practically instantly. Plex should give us control over this and they darn well should be replying to this very important topic. This is one of the reasons I dislike using Plex, the delay is nonsensical.
I have the same problem I’m not sure but I think it might have something to do with the config file for Plex.
There is no way to do that. I am not aware of any plans to do so.
It is good to finally to hear from the Plex team on this.
Though you are not aware of any plans to address this, has it been passed on as something to adress?
It must be something adressable as when it went up to 20 seconds it was later reduced back to 15,
We would all like an option to reduce this further in our admin console.
Cheers,
Rob.
If you wish a user configurable option then I suggest making a feature suggestion in the proper area of forums for it and voting on it. https://forums.plex.tv/c/general/feature-suggestions
there seems to already be one you can vote on
Thanks @BigWheel. I’ve been here a while and was not aware that there was an official feature request section. initial searches for this issue ever even hinted. It is good to know. It is a shame it took a couple of years but I hope enough of the people that posted here have not given up reading new plees and can see your post to the feature request at Continuous Autoplay and vote it up.
It would have been good to have this information a couple of years ago though.
I actually have the opposite issue of most people on here; I have a disability and therefore when I am watching one episode at a time (not binging) it is sometimes hard to stop the next episode in time. I think the best option is to make the timer controllable, so that people can set it for what fits them best.
You can turn off autoplay. I don’t use autoplay either
