MBSki 1020 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 11 minutes ago, ebr said: Okay, then yes I think that is mystery solved in your case. The last played date was probably modified by the plug-in marking it as watched. Go start watching the last episode you actually completed for about 10 seconds and then back out of it. Now your next up episode is correct, right? I would like to know for sure though as trakt.tv has my "date watched" for episode 4x19 as 8 years ago. Does the Emby trakt.tv plug-in grab the actual date watched or just use current date as date watched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not intimately familiar with the plug in but I doubt it. Could be an enhancement. The act of marking an item as watched (by you manually or a plug-in) will set the last played date to the time that it was marked. So there is not a bug with adding episodes to your library. This is a side-effect of using the Trakt plug-in with items that were watched externally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you had missing episodes and added them but were already on the last season, you could "rewatch" 1:1 and it will Next Up only the missing episodes recently added? But that missing episode can not be next from future episodes. Say you have Season 2, Episodes 1-6 but missing 2 and you watch 1,3,4,5. Then add episode 2, S02E06 should still be Next Up not newly added S02E02. as the last played item was S02E05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next up is going to try and maintain the continuity of what you are watching NOW. To get the (previously) missing episode as next up, you'd need to watch one of the ones prior to it first.

Good to know, although I'd prefer that it jump back to the previous season. That's just my preference though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a good enhancement for the plug-in for it to set the last played date after it sets the watched status. However, I don't know if that information is available to the plug-in and, actually, I'm not sure if there is a way to manually set a last played date in our API... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are watching a particular season, it makes much more sense to continue with that thread of consumption rather than jumping back to some other random point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example. A very common situation where you would have random items both included in your system and marked watched in some non-sequential way would be either an anthology series (where each season is an entirely new storyline) or a series like "American Experience" where the episodes aren't really sequential in nature - except in some circumstances where they break topics up into multiple episodes. In both of those cases, keeping your current watch sequence is the proper thing to do so that makes it the most likely thing you'll want to see next.

Carlo 4330 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 While a bit convoluted, I found this thread very worthwhile for understanding how this is supposed to work. Because of the way I add and watch TV Shows I haven't seen some of the issues mentioned here. It actually works slightly different than I thought it did but makes total sense. Good info!

Although I think we need to get back to the OPs issue. @tjdennis Did this help at all? I don't use the TrakT plugin so I don't have a synchronization issue. But I did learn a few options to try to fix my problems. I can try pulling the shows out and do a rescan and then put them back. I'm still not sure why it wants to get back to that s5e12 episode so badly, but I am up to s5e3 so I'll be past it soon enough and things may work normal then. I was just hoping that clearing all the Played checkmarks would make re-watching a show work correctly. I don't know where to look up that last played date so I can't confirm anything for you to see if that was the issue or not. If it's in a sqlite file or xml file somewhere, let me know and I can try and find it for you. I turned on the legacy Next Up section on my home screen and now the Continue Watching only shows unfinished episodes. I'll have to test it tonight to see what happens in the Next Up when I finish an episode. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a issue as the Combined Continue Watching Row can only show one item for any given series, so multiple resume points for episodes in series do/will have a issue for this combined row. Separating them back out should show proper Next Up and all items with Resume points. 19 minutes ago, tjdennis said: If it's in a sqlite file or xml file somewhere, let me know and I can try and find it for you. It is in the library.db, you would need the item id to get the userdatakeyid from the mediaitems table, then use that userdatakeyid to filter the userdatas table for that item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBers 6771 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 10 hours ago, ebr said: That is not correct. Next up should show the first unwatched episode after the last episode you watched. With that logic, the scenario being discussed here works (random episodes marked watched throughout but are re-watching from a previous or other point). At least, it will work as long as something isn't marking things watched when they are added to the system . That's exactly what I saw with my little test above. Although your "Next up should show the first unwatched episode after the last episode you watched" statement above sounds like you're not sure either. Anyways, looks like @mbarylski has solved his issue. Now, is @tjdennis OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PlayStateLast Modified date is Tuesday, October 19, 2021 3:34:01 PM. Did you manually mark it watched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
