This is a long standing issue, that are covered in multiple threads

2 hour runtime

No. I have never seen that. Sometimes the run time is off by a minute or two but never by much and it never impacts the actual playing of the file. Of course I only use local files so it could well be that some/much of the Plex suggested garbage is mislabeled or has flaws in the metadata or even in the file itself.

Some times titles are identified at 2 hours long on first play

Sometimes when I start playing a TV episode (may happen on movies, I don’t watch enough to notice) it identifies the episode as being 2 hours long exactly. This happens on the web player which is the latest version and I have noticed it over the last couple of updates. If I stop playback part way through and resume the length is then correct. This has happened recently with titles from several different sources and of a wide variety of ages and at least two different file types, so it doesn’t …

Plex web player occasionally sees runtime as exactly 2 hours and won't autoplay afterwards

Server Version#: 1.25.5.5492 Player Version#: 4.69.1 (Plex Web) Starting in January I started noticing that some content shows a runtime of exactly 2 hours even if it’s way shorter than that. From TV shows that are 45 minutes long, and children’s shows that are 10-20 minutes long this randomly happens for me. This problem has persisted across server version updates. I’ve only seen this in FireFox. I don’t use the other browsers for Plex because of an issue I noticed in which if the sound isn’…

I manage to troubleshoot it. Basically, when the disks are spun down (I have a Unraid nas), and you start an episode or a film, the player waits for the disk to spin up.
Although, a timeout or something must happen, so when the episode start playing, the runtime goes to 2 hours. You can actually see that the runtime is right when the yellow circle is still spinning (thus loading, waiting for the disk to spin up), but as soon as the episode starts playing, runtime is modified to 2 hours.
This completely breaks autoplay, as if the episode is less than 2 hours, from the end of the episode you just get black screen until the two hours mark.

This doesn’t happen if the disk is already spinning when I start an episode/movie. And this happens only on android tv app. Plex web is unaffected by this.

Can someone look into this?
