Hi

Just wondering if the Roku Plex Channel can play titles one after another in the TV Series Type Content??

There is a shuffle button and the app will play one after abother but not in sequential order.

Is there a way to select a starting title and have Plex paly the rest one after another in the order displayed??

Thanks
John

Sure it can. I never use the function but I believe that if you press “play” on a season the Roku channel will continuously play that season.

I even think it will begin with the first unwatched episode.

Clicking the play button does seem to play the entire season continuously.

It was a good thought that unwatched would allow selection… But it doe not work like that.

Too bad… That would be a great feature…

Cheers

Actually I tested and if you press play on a season it starts playing the first unwatched episode. That is if I have watched eps 1-8 in season 2 of a show and I press play on season 2 Plex begins playing ep 9.

That is it does not play the watched episodes but starts the unwatched shows in order.

From a previous thread:

There are some implicit ways to continuous play TV shows.

  • Go to the shows screen, where it lists the seasons. Press play on the shows screen, and it will start playing continuously from the on deck episode (or the first episode of nothing is on deck). If you press play while highlighted on a season, it will start at the beginning of that season.
  • Go to the season screen (vertical episode list) and press play while you are focused on an episode. It will start playing continuously from there. You can also use the play button on the left hand side to start playing the season from the beginning.
  • Episode screen (manual advance): Press REV/FWD on the remote, to advance between episodes. You can use this method after you watch an episode to manually choose the next one quickly.
