When a episode ends and the credits start Plex will do it’s thing and drops down to a box and I usually select ok on my remote to play next episode, but nothing happens until the credits end then I can proceed with the next episode, not sure whats going on here?

What’s the version of the Plex app installed on your Apple TV? Do you experience this when watching videos from a playlist, episodes of a show in sequence or some other use case? I’m frequently watching some of my shows this way and haven’t seen this issue (yet).

I am currently running v8.29 (7486) This happens with playing from continue watching and in sequence Some do play ok but most don’t, out of 20 episodes 4 would play ok

Please help!! Are these settings correct? [settings]

When I hit “Up Next” while it was still playing credits, the button depressed, but the next episode didn’t start. When the previous episode finished playing, the “Up Next” changed to a countdown, and I could h…

Just ran into this myself for the very first time (after shuffling episodes for ages). Very weird…

Some do work ok but there is no pattern !!

The behavior has been changed in the latest TestFlight/Beta. It isn’t minimizing the video to the post-play screen during credits any more.

I have also noticed that the Skip credits show up 4 mintues before the show ends.
I have done a Plex dance and re done credits but nothing has changed.
No biggie, but would like to sort it out
