So, I’ve found others with this issue, but with no solution. I’m here to try again.
Issue:
- After the last episode of a series, or at the end of a movie. Plex does not return to the menu, but instead freezes at a black screen.
- Player controls are active, but it says “playing” at the end of the media but without it progressing.
Reproduce:
- Choose the last released episode of any series with the setting “Player Experience → Auto-play Countdown Time” set to “Immediate”, and let the player run to the end of the media.
Gaffer tape solution:
- Choose a 5 second countdown.
- Does not go back to menu, but at least you get some kind of feedback, not just black.
Preferred solution:
- Return to main menu after last episode has finished.
