I appear to have a button on the player that does not function, which is a nuisance if you have a long end credit

@fsurfer , the button works, just perhaps not the way you think it should.  That button goes to the Next chapter if the video has chapters, not to the next episode in the show.  As far as I know, there is no Kodi function that I can call from the skin that will go to the next episode in the season.  In fact, that is why you need an addon like Up Next to do something like that. 

Kodi does support to play the next video automatically, which will play the next episode when the current one finishes playing.  You can always turn that setting on.  And if you have long credits, you can always configure the Up Next addon to show you the auto play notification sooner than the 30 seconds that it has as default.
