How to make Apple TV play episodes consecutively

appletvtelevision

I have a 3rd-gen Apple TV. I recently started ripping and adding some of my TV Shows from DVD and I've stumbled into a problem.

Some of TV shows episodes are played consecutively (one-by-one without my intervention) while some are not and after the playback the screen goes back to episode selection menu. This happens on iTunes 11.0.5 on Windows and the versions available since mid-2012. Similarly Apple TV is updated anytime a software update is released for that device as I always use the latest stable software available. I play the movies/TV shows on my Apple TV via HomeSharing.

My guess is that I must have tagged some of them badly and they're not recognized as consecutive or of the same titles maybe.

Can someone suggest what I might have done wrong?

If you create a Playlist or Smart Playlist and choose the episode from that it will continue to the next item auotmatically.
