Emby for Android will not mark "watched" / Neither Theater for Chrome nor Android will do "Continue Watching"

[Shibboleth 13]

Description: Since I updated to MB Server 4.5.3.0, I'm having three seemingly related problems.

 

1. On Emby for Android, the "mark as played" button does not work. It doesn't turn red, and if I click it and then restart the app, or visit it on another device, the item is not marked as played. That button does work on Emby Theater for Chrome, though. It works on both user profiles I have (admin and regular user) on Chrome, but works on neither in Emby for Android.
2. Likewise, the Trakt for Emby plugin does not appear to be syncing play states back to the server. It sends them perfectly fine, but it isn't overwriting them locally at all between users (I currently have two user profiles syncing via Trakt so that anything watched on one is synced to Trakt and then back to the other, so that they keep the same things marked as "played"). I assume this is connected to problem #1.
3. Relatedly, the "resume playback" function does not work on either Emby for Android or Emby Theater for Chrome. I've tried this most on Christopher Nolan's new film, "Tenet," but it doesn't happen on any of the movies or TV shows that I've tried it on.  I'll play the movie, seek to 45 or 50 minutes in of a ~2 hr movie, and then watch for 5 minutes, before backing out of the film to the info screen. When I do this, the film will not have a "resume playback" button. It looks as though I never even touched the file. Again, this problem is on BOTH Chrome and Android Theater apps.

Error Messages: I see no error messages when trying to do any of these things. But there is an error in the logs (see below). I believe it happens during direct playback as well, so I haven't included any transcoding log files.

 

Excerpt to maybe point you in the right direction (lol):

I've also provided the full logs, though, cuz I know that's what's actually helpful.

Android Log submission info: 

• What was happening at the time: see above. Trying to mark something as played, and then trying to trigger the "resume playback" feature.
• Time I sent the log: ~10:30 A.M. EDT
• Emby User: "Uncle Iroh's Tea Shop"

Other pertinent details: 

• Yes, I tried restarting the server.
• Yes, I tried various user profiles and files.
• Yes, I tried an incognito window and clearing the cache.
• No, I have not tried downgrading the server version. I feel like that's exactly what's up. The upgrade, lol.

Anything else needed, I'm happy to help!

 

Thank you for any help/guidance you can provide!!

Best,
Shibb

Hi, please try rebooting your machine and see if that helps. Thanks.

Hi, yes that did work! I'd restarted the server, but not the whole computer...

Thank you! Such an easy fix.

Best,

Thanks for the feedback. If it comes up again i would restart the machine. When you see those database locked errors in the server log it's almost always due to you having managed to run multiple instances of the server at the same time.
