Smart Playlist and Play Next Video

Hi, i tried to figure this out myself, but if someone can provide any info i'll be great.
I'm using smart playlist to play certain tv shows/episodes, works great.
However, option play next video automatically doesn't work, i can't skip to next episode in playlist
If i understand playlist correctly, option 'play next video automatically' shouldn't even mater if it's a playlist.
But, i have 'play next video' setting turned ON, and it's not working.

I think problem might have something to do with <smartplaylist type="episodes">, because if i put <smartplaylist type="tvshows"> it works.

Is this a known issue or i'm doing something wrong?

Example of my smart playlist:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
    <name>Test</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="contains">
        <value>T:\Kodi\TV\</value>
    </rule>
</smartplaylist>
