Dear developers team and users,
I have spent half day to look into how the NEXT key in Kodi behaves.
Official definition:
SkipNext - Skip to next video in playlist. If no playlist, then skip to next chapter in video.
Here we can see two problems:
1.) If one doesn't have a playlist, the next key can't jump to the next video file in a folder, but it can skip to next chapter of a current playing file;
BUT - currently, the "UP" key of Kodi can do the "skip to next chapter" work nicely, no matter there is a playlist or not.
2.) If the automatic play next video option is enabled, the next button can't jump to the next video if the current play file has multiple chapters.
As mentioned above, currently, the "UP" key of Kodi can do the "skip to next chapter" work nicely, no matter there is a playlist or not, then why the next key can't be defined solely for jumping to the next video in a folder, with or without a playlist?
I may be wrong, so please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks.
Please feel free to discuss, thanks!
Regards,
K
