While I've used VLC on my phone and Shield for test purposes, I've never played a video to the end on either device, so I can't say if there's a play next function in it. So I just fired up VLC on my Shield (which is Android based) to test it. I have a number of short duration test videos, so I tried several of them. The next video in the list seemed to play without any issue. I went into the settings and didn't see anything specific that I thought might trigger a continue play function, so I have to assume that's the default for VLC. I checked the settings within a playing video, and while I did see a repeat and random playback function, there was nothing seen about continuous playback. So again, it appears to be the default for VLC.
I think VLC is a terrific video player, but their user interface is really lacking. No metadata at all is available, other than the cover image from the disc. And for videos with no metadata available there's not even a screen image of the video. It looks just the same on my iPhone. You might try searching for a different video player for your phone.
