Amazon FireTV 4K - Cannot play just a single video over SMB

Description

I am able to connect to a local Windows SMB share and play videos. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to play just a single video--At the end of the video, the next one in the folder starts playing automatically.

The Interface -> Video Playlist Mode option is unchecked.

This seems somewhat similar to this reported bug: #2167 (closed)

Expected behavior

At the completion of the video playing, the user interface returns to the menu.

Actual behavior

The next video in the folder starts playing automatically.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Mount a SMB share with multiple videos
  2. Uncheck the Interface -> Video Playlist Mode option
  3. Play a video
  4. At the end of the video, a subsequent video will start automatically

App version

3.4.3
