I have a 2012 13" MacBook Pro (i7 2.9 running OS X 10.13). I primarily run iTunes on it and I control it through an apple remote. I press it once to wake it from sleep and press it again to play whatever song is queued up in iTunes. However, it only ever plays one song unless I key in my password into the MacBook. Once I do this it will play continuously.
It also only plays one song after I skip a song, stop and then play again etc., with input from the Apple remote.
I recall a while back (maybe with OS X 10.12?) it would play continuously without me entering my password.
I'm pretty sure my setting have always been the same and it has always worked. In System preferences > security the password required is set for five minutes. Regardless, the maximum without a password is eight hours, but it may be asleep for more than eight hours sometimes. I always want a password on the device so that someone doesn't go in and change some stuff randomly. Ideally, I never want to touch the MacBook and control iTunes with the remote exclusively.
Is this a OS X 10.13 thing or is there a setting I can change to make my MacBook work the way I would like?
