6 months ago Heya! Thanks for opening an issue for me! :smile:
What happens now
(Haven't tested on Roku, just on the web interface and Android client, so forgive me if this is inaccurate...)
Currently, when Loop Once is enabled and the Next Track button is pressed, Jellyfin restarts the playback of the current track, which isn't very useful, as the functionality is already covered by pressing Previous Track once.
What should ideally happen
Other media players have one of the following two behaviours when this happens:
- some players (Spotify, Tidal, Plexamp) disable Loop Once then move to the following track in the queue;
- other players (Strawberry, Plex Web) keep Loop Once enabled and just move to the following track in the queue.
Personally, I find the second option to be the most useful, since media controls on headphones and keyboards don't usually have a Loop button and so would then require me to reopen the player to re-enable it manually.
I know that some other people would rather have the first one though, so ideally the behaviour in this case should be configurable in the Playback settings (maybe even keeping the current one as an option in case somebody has grown used to it?).
During music playback, make it so clicking previous or next song changes the playing song, but doesn't disable Loop Once if it's enabled.
Additional context
