We put Friends the TV series on, from. crave or Hulu, and when one episode finishes, the previous series episode plays rather than the one after. So if you’re on episode 6, it will go to episode 5.

I know VLC can be set to run backwards 

I would try settings-configuration-change video player from primary to external

they're using streaming apps 😉

i know of one server that does that Its because they put the latest episode first

Often some will do alphabetically and ordering is even funnier when they don't number the first episodes with 2 digits (01, 02, 03, 04,..)

Then you get S01E1, S01E10, S01E11...S01E19, S01E2, S01E21....  And if they do that with Season numbering also,  you seem to get a few episodes in proper order, and then it shoots all over the place.

Sounds like it’s a provider issue. I’ve flagged it. Thanks all.
