Samsung TV, when next episode auto play is set to 0 sec, app crashes after episode

Server Version#: latest Plex pass build
Player Version#: latest Samsung TV version

I found on all 4 of my Samsung smart TVs, I set the next episode countdown under video playback settings to immediate (0Seconds) and at the end of the episode, if the last episode and no episode to go to, the Plex app crashes to a black screen and you can’t back or anything. You have to press and hold back button on remote to force close the Plex app(or power cycle TV by hard reset or unplug and wait 30 sec and plug back in). If you set to 5 seconds, it then goes to the normal replay screen on the final episode in a series. So it seems to be a bug where the app is expecting another episode when there isnt one and just eats itself.

I found this when setting auto skip credits from manual to auto and set the time to next episode to immediate and kept dealing with the crashes when a new episode came out on a show and since it’s the last, it crashes. And through troubleshooting identified that setting as the cause. So I set all my TV’s to 5 Seconds to next episode and it’s fixed. But would like to have immediate next episode fixed to put back.

I am running the latest Plex pass build server version and latest app for Samsung TV’s. I didn’t test on anything else this setting so not sure if it’s an app issue or a server issue.

I have the same issue on an LG Smart TV, again with Skip Credits and AutoPlay set to 0
