Continue Watching Bug

[dropshadow 12]

hello.

i am encountering a bug on the home page. i am running emby android client on nvidia shield pros - both client and server updated to current versions. i have my home page configured so that the CONTINUE WATCHING section does NOT appear. occasionally when i am watching something i will stop it before it gets to the end. i know that there is some kind of counter that determines when you have finished watching, and sets the item as PLAYED even if you have not made it completely to the end of the file. if you stop watching around this counter (a little before i think) and you go back to the home page, you will see the CONTINUE WATCHING section show up, even though it is configured not to display. i usually just exit emby to make this go away, and i know it's a small thing, but i thought i would report it.

Okay then that is the TV app. The version is shown on the settings page.

Exactly what sections do you have defined for your home screen?

[dropshadow 12]

it is version 2.0.83g

for home screen layout, the config is only 2 items:

1. My Media - 7 libraries displayed
2. Latest Media - 5 of 7 libraries displayed

all else is blank.

Can you show a screenshot of what you see?

no, unfortunately i cannot recreate the issue. it is some weird combination of things that has to happen, and i have never figured out exactly what steps creates the bug. it doesnt happen often. but when it does, it is very noticeable since i dont use the Continue Watching category. i tried for the last 15 minutes to re create the problem but could not. when it does happen, the Continue Watching category appears between My Media (1 row) and the first Latest Media row (5 rows).
