Playlist is not playing one after the other

Plex Players Streaming Devices

Hello!

Yesterday my playlist stopped working. It no longer plays one TV show after another. It will play whatever show I click on and when that episode is over it does not go on to the next show. It stops playing and displays what I just watched.

Also, the controls to click on the next episode are now grayed out and I can no longer flip to the next show by clicking on the forward or back button.

Please help:)
Thanks Mark

This is happening to me as well with Android TV, specifically the shield tv. It occurred right after the 12/15 update.

Pretty stupid update feature! Now I can’t even start in the middle of any playlist and use the controls to jump forward of backwards to another show. I sure hope they correct this otherwise what is the sense of a playlist???

I’m using Plex on Amazon Firestick. Anyone know how to roll that back a version?

follow along on this site How to Install an APK on an Amazon Fire Stick

then when you need to get the website for the download, use https://www.apk4fun.com/go.php?id=com.plexapp.android&p=987194&s=0&l=https%3A%2F%2Ff5.apk4fun.com%2Fget.php%3Fp%3D987194%26i%3Dcom.plexapp.android%26v%3D8.26.2.29389

you might be able to use a link shortener to make it easier

It would be nice to hear from the PLex Mods on this at some point?

Same here on Philips Android TV PUS7304 from 2019 (Android 9). Playback stops after every title, must get back to the last menu to start the next title. Not the best solution for binging…

yea it would be nice to have acknowledgment that this is an issue and will be fixed. really defeats the purpose of a playlist.

I’m having the same issue on my Android TV app (Sony Bravia). All of the sudden, playlists stop after the first item. It used to work just fine. The only workaround I found is using Chromecast from my Pixel phone. What is going on?

How about it Plex mods…Care to comment on this??

Just adding another report for Firestick here for more visibility.

This bug has bitten me on both NVIDIA Shield and MiBox3 AndroidTV devices.

It is really frustrating that a seemingly basic function has been broken in this way.

I am also experiencing this issue. Playlist will stop playing after one item finishes.

Server is a Synology NAS. Plex Server version 1.25.2.5319
Player is a NVidia Shield Pro. Plex Player version 8.28.0.29997 beta

IDKW i’m paying for Plex pass anymore. First they totally nuke 4k playback on the standard 2019 shield, hell even my older 4kHDR TV plays 4K direct over DLNA. It worked fine when i got it. Then they roll out an update that totally screws up the playlist function on the pro and sit silent, like if I pay for a premium service shouldn’t a support response be included in that?

EDIT UPDATE
Anyways since we don’t get support here and the Jan 5th update is still broken on the playlists can confirm for Shield owners sideloading v8.23.1.28053 apk brings back playlist functionality. You might want to go into google store and turn off auto update after installing it I did get an update notification for plex so I just turned it off.

8.26.2.29389 does not seem to have this playlist regression.

21

Good to know, can’t believe these versions made it out of beta shorter testing cycle and this is what tends to happen

22

Same here not working, hope it will be fixed soon, its been a month since i have this bug already …
