Stop PlexAmp playing anything else when the album finishes

Before Christmas I moved back to PlexAmp as there was once again a version that work on the Raspberry Pi - and I’m happy to say it works very well.

When I initially set it up I configured is so that when the selected album finishes it stops - and that worked perfectly.

Now, despite no setting changes it has gone back to choosing random track, sometimes entire albums to play when the current album finishes and I was to stop it.

From the two attached files you can see the configuration, yet it still has chosen to find something else to play when this album finishes.

I think you want to disable autoplay. Goto settings in plexamp then playback and then autoplay. Disable the option.

same problem. I finish listen playlist and in second time I can’t listen because the file is read

@anon5074910 but in the screen shot I have included you can see that it is disabled, yet still it does it

sorry but when i listen to music from my playlist i would like to listen to everything

I’m sorry, missed that screenshot (I’m on my phone).

That setting works for me as I reset plexamp a few days ago (phone) and needed to re disable it again. Maybe it a Pi specific issue.

@anon5074910

The Pi is a headless set up, so there is nothing to configure there.

I therefore assume it takes the settings from what you have configured on your phone/PC.

I’m assuming that if you set it one way on your phone, the same appear on your PC?

Maybe there is a settings file on the Pi that I can set it in?

But it’s not a play list, I chose an album, it decides to stick something it considers related on to play when that album finishes, sometimes single tracks occasionally whole albums

I only use plexamp on my phone.

this is just a menu item that says to play similar songs at the end of the album/playlist

no please these aids without a basis of reality do not help anyone!!!

If you swipe left or right on the pill at the bottom of your queue, you can control what will play next (another album by the artist, an artist radio, library radio, or nothing at all).

on any mp3 player if I listen to a song even just one piece, the next time the playback is reset and the song starts again. in plex a song remains halfway and you listen to the song that ends. if you then find tracks that have already been played, these are continuously skipped because they are marked as played. a bother!!!

You can turn this off for your music library on the server itself by toggling “Store track progress” in the library’s advanced settings.

@tomsimmons the “enable autoplay” setting in your screenshot is for the local player (your phone, e.g.) that you’re using to control the headless player.

To change the setting on your Pi, navigate to the web UI and change the settings there. The web UI can be accessed via http://{device IP}:32500.

Thanks, this I think is the answer I needed.

I wasn’t aware there was a web interface to the new PlexAmp (on the Pi).

@incontro as others have already said, this is due to a setting you’ve applied on the server. See my reply here for a solution:
