[b]Description:[/b] I currently know of two ways to play videos in MediaPortal with two separate behaviour: (1) Selecting a video file will play that video and then return to the menu screen when the video ends or is stopped. (2) Selecting a folder will (if the set-up option allow) play [I]all[/I] the files in that folder. I have recently moved to MP from using a Western Digital WDTV and it had a feature which I found useful: (1) If you highlighted a file in the current list and pressed "enter", the file would play and then return to the menu - same as MP. (2) [U]BUT: [/U]if you highlighted a file and pressed "[I]play[/I]", the file would play and then the player would continue playing all the [I]subsequent [/I]files in the listing. So if (for example) you highlighted episode 3 in a TV series, it would play ep 3, then 4, then 5, etc... all the way to the end of the series/season. This "play" behaviour also extended to the "chapter skip" button, where if you went past the end of the current file, the next file would be loaded and played. Very useful when watching TV or anime series. :) [/QUOTE]
