Hi All,

I’m currently using an Nvidia Shield Pro as player with Kodi/ Plex Add-on as my player. When I first installed Kodi all of my playback buttons worked fine. Once I upgraded to 19.0 I lost the ability to use the “Next” button. If i play an episode that has a next available in my library…the button shows available but nothing happens when attempting to click it. When playing the latest episode the button is correctly grayed out. Some other people pointed out that it’s a next chapter button but my previous episode button works fine everytime and never functions as a chapter button so I’m thinking it’s a difference in the how the button functions between kodi and the plex add-on. I’ve tried factory resetting and reinstalling multiple versions from 19.0 to current 19.4. Other people have commented they’re experiencing the same issue but the majority seem to have not. Just wondering if this is a known issue and if there’s a fix at all. Thanks in advance!

I also have this problem.

I am running the Plex add-on on coreelec 19.5 matrix rc1.

I also tried the version from this repository

> <https://github.com/pannal/plex-for-kodi/issues/28>
>
> Add new file source (18/19/20/21): https://pannal.github.io/dontpanickodi/

Same problem.

I then tried both versions of the 19 add-on from the first post in this thread

> Hey maybe some one can help me out. I have a problem with the official Plex addon and this modified Plex addon for Kodi on my Xbox series S. When I connect my Plex account to the addon I can only see my movies until the letter “T” then the list just ends. When searching for a movie that is not on the list it will appear. I also double checked the filter settings and they are set to show every movie. Thanks for your help.

Same problem.

So it seems this button only works in kodi 18.

A good workaround would be the “up next” add-on but unfortunately that also doesn’t work within the Plex add-on.

Someone suggested having something similar built in and the dev @panni seemed to like the idea.

> It would be a different than the current Auto Play Next option in the current version. UpNext shows a popup when there's x seconds left in the episode with options to play the next episode or close the box.

Hopefully someone will figure something out.

I’m a willing tester if needed.
