Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Audiobooks in a series should automatically autoplay to the next book once a book ends if it has a next book.

This can be toggled accordingly.

The next and prev buttons also navigate, between the series

Why would this be helpful?

It would be nice to start a series and continue playing until I stop, while pretty niche

it's annoying to switch to the next book when doing chores or not having access to the device from where ABS is playing.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.19.3

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

I would add that a custom queuing feature would be nice in addition to autoplaying books within a series.

In the web player Playlists and Collections should continue as a queue and auto-play the next at the end of each book, they don't queue in the android app.

Ah yes, that is a feature on web. Thank you for pointing that out.

I second this. Having autoplay would be especially helpful while driving

Playlists and Collections should queue in the Android app; without that, the Collections and Playlists aren't really useful (within the Android app), as they don't provide any additional functionality. I'm really hoping this is implemented soon.

Agreed, such a basic feature should not be missing from any iterations of the player,

This is the issue on queuing in the app repo: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/416. It's one of the most requested features.
