MediaBrowser playback issue with iPad / iPhone

Whenever I access my music via the MediaBrowser on the iPad and iPhone, 1 song will play and then it will stop. I have played around with the queue/playlist feature in the MediaBrowser and cannot figure out why play will not continue to the next track even though I selected "Play All". Do I need to change a setting on the Apple products or download an app to access content outside of Safari/Quicktime? My Samsung TV works fine with Serviio/DLNA and moves to the next track on an album without issues. My computer running Windows 8 and using IE 11 also behaves normally with the MediaBrowser and will move on to the next track in the queue once "Play All" is selected. It is only when I play music in the MediaBrowser on Apple products. The other thing I noticed is that I only get an incrementing number of songs in the queue on the iPad. The iPhone does not show a number of songs in the queue when added, even though songs are being added. Both the iPad2 and iPhone4 are running iOS7.

I think it's a limitation of the media player in iOS. Possibly a security feature.

You are probably right. I have tried other browsers (Chrome, etc) on the iPad and iPhone and have had no luck with play continuing to the next song.

Re: MediaBrowser playback issue with iPad / iPhone

Not sure if anyone else has brought up the song advance issue on iphone/ipad in MediaBrowser or not, but this is still a frustrating limitation of the MediaBrowser that prevents continuously streaming music outside my home network. What is strange is that I never have the same issue when using a DLNA app on my iphone/ipad like Creation 5 on my home network. Songs will advance like normal. It is only when using the MediaBrowser that songs will not advance without interacting with iphone/ipad. As far as I know though DLNA is just for local networks so I am stuck with the MediaBrowser if I access media remotely. MediaBrowser acts the same on my home network and remote.
