Hi.  Have you opened the app after watching on the other device?  

[AndyXH 77]

Hi yes I have and still dose not update with the latest info 

[ebr 16169]

If you are talking about TV series next up episodes, for the TV app, you would need to actually watch that series again for it to properly update.  That feature works well if you use the same device most of the time. We haven't created background tasks at this point to try and keep it up to date all the time (i.e. when you are watching on different devices).

[AndyXH 77]

Ahhh okay yes I did notice that but when using multiple devices it don’t work well! Do you plan on created a background task that updates this ? 

[Luke 42077]

Our standard android app does do this as a background task, but it's just not currently connected to server events and won't necessarily happen immediately following playback on another device. It's something we'll look at improving in future updates.

HI, does it update after you open the TV app?

No issues , with “play next” updating for myself.  However ,  it would be significantly more helpful if the “play next” on shield Home Screen would match the “continue watching” of the emby Home Screen.

To be clear, it should include  next up shows (that are not in progress) and actually show the progress bar for media that is in progress.
