"Now playing" section still shows movie playing after almost 2 weeks

[Dukeanator 0]

Hello, I've seen this on my dashboard for a while now and I cannot figure out how to get rid of it. I have restarted the server multiple times as well as restarted the server computer a couple times. I don't think that its causing any issues with the computers performance or anything else on the backend. I checked the server activity log and it shows that the user has watched other movies on other devices without any issues, though after they are done watching that movie (Mission impossible for example), it says they are playing this movie on that device without having a log stating they finished watching it.

I'm not really concerned about this as it does not appear to interfere with server performance, it's mostly just odd. Has anyone else had this issue?

Only way to remove abandoned sessions is to restart your server.

This issue just showed up on my system for the first time. Just reporting for context. As noted above, a restart of the server cleared the session.

I have been seeing this for quite some time as well.  I'm currently running 4.8.8.0 but I think it *maybe* preceded that.

I have only seen this with Roku clients.  The only way I've been able to clear them is with a server restart.

Correction: also see it w/ the samsung client.

You will most likely find it with any one that doesn't close the video properly. Like fx. people just turning off the TV instead of stopping the video first.
