I cannot reproduce this, so please confirm whether each track plays its full length or only a preview, and whether Up Next still contains tracks. Please also test the same playlist on music.apple.com and an Apple-curated playlist in Sidra, and say whether Sidra is visible or hidden when playback stops. Please say whether KDE Connect, GSConnect, playerctl, or media automation is active, and whether the problem remains in the soon to be released Sidra 0.4.1.

Thanks for the detailed questions. I tested the issue again and here are the results:

• Each track plays its full length, not just a preview.
• Up Next does not contain any tracks when the current track finishes (or when the current track plays).
• The same playlist works correctly on music.apple.com and continues to the next track.
• I tested an Apple-curated playlist in Sidra, and the issue doesn't occur there.
• The issue happens both when Sidra is visible and when it is hidden.
• I am not using KDE Connect, GSConnect, playerctl, or any media automation tools.
• The issue is still present in Sidra 0.4.1.

So the issue seems to affect all playlists in Sidra, rather than being specific to a particular playlist.

I just saw something useful, this only occurs when I try to play the tracks on my "pinned" playlists. When I try to play the tracks from the "All Playlists" menu, Up Next contains all of the tracks.

The problem now seems limited to personal playlists opened from Pinned, but one more check will help us narrow it down. Open the same personal playlist from Pinned and start it with the large Play button at the top. Then stop playback, select one track, and say whether Up Next contains the rest of the playlist in each case.

I tested both ways as requested, and the behavior is different depending on how the playlist is started.

When I open the personal playlist from Pinned and click the large Play button at the top, playback starts normally. After starting playback this way, Up Next is populated correctly and shows the remaining tracks from the playlist.

However, if I open the same personal playlist from Pinned and click directly on an individual track to start playback, the behavior is different. The selected track starts playing normally, but Up Next is completely empty. None of the other tracks from the playlist are added to the queue.

So the issue seems to occur specifically when starting playback by clicking an individual track, rather than using the large Play button for the playlist. The playlist itself is accessible and the selected track plays correctly; the problem is that the remaining playlist tracks are not being added to Up Next.
