Hello guys, New here. I’m part of a MSP that manages multiples networks. Recently one of our offices (Dental Office) came to us with a request/issue. About a month ago they notice the playlist they created, roughly around 20 movies, will stop playing movies after 4 hours or so. It used to be where …

From what I remember you can configure Plex to automatically play the next item in a playlist. However, there’s limits to how long Plex will keep playing items without user interaction. There’s a description of how auto-advancing of a play queue works. From https://support.plex.tv/articles/20260…

Reproduce the issue, then grab the server logs and Roku logs and post them here for me to review. Let me know the time or the video that fails to continue.
