    Default Roku and Plex, how to autoplay?

    Having some trouble with this. I'm new to Plex (and a Roku), and google is failing me.

    I have a Roku Streaming Stick+, and when I use Plex on it to watch some downloaded shows (from the Plex server on my main PC), it won't play one after the other. It just plays a single one, which is annoying as fuck when I'm just trying to let my daughter watch a few episodes of a kids show in a row.

    Any suggestions? Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Autoplay is definitely there somewhere, I have it on my Roku/Plex setup.

    I just tried that and the "Post Play Auto Play" does work to a certain extent, but shittily.

    The problem is that you have to play an entire season of a show starting from the beginning to do that. If I start say S01E01, it will continue to play to S01E02, and S01E3, but if I stop it, and then the next day want to continue with S01E04, it just stops dead after that single episode, but if play the season from the S01E01, it will auto-play again. I can circumvent it by starting S01E01, and then going to the playlist and skipping a bunch of episodes, but it's a bit ridiculous to have to do that.

    That's weird. I use a mix of the web browser, chromecast, and smart TVs, and all of them autoplay when I select a single episode.

    That's why I just say I have a 4" dick and lift weights to make up for it.

    I'm using the Nvidia Shield but Plex auto-plays next episodes by default for me, it's just not quite as immediate at Netflix.

    From the Streaming Stick+, or an older model?
