11. Changed: The MCWS call Playlist/Files returns a copy of the files with links included.

Here's a new thread on Radio JRiver.

[JustinChase]

This is a long-standing issue, going back as far as I can remember.

If you pick one video to play, then use the arrow buttons, or scroll wheel to advance the video to the end, the video just gets "stuck" at the end, and doesn't stop or end.  If you don't manually advance to the end, the video 'ends' and MC goes back to the video list.

If you pick more than one video, and manually advance to the end, the video will go to the next video. 

I would like to see this behavior changed so the video stop playing and for MC to go back to the video list like it does if you don't manually advance to the end.
