Removing a series from next up

[podonnell 47]

Hi,

I have a series that I'd like to prevent from showing up in 'next up'. It's a show that just has random episodes and not really a continuous plot. Would prefer to not see it always in next up as if I need to watch the next episode.

Is there any way to tell a specific series to ignore what is next?

I know that I could achieve this by marking the entire series as watched, but I'd like to be able to keep track of what I have actually watched.

Thanks for any ideas.

You can click the 3 . on the continue watching row.

And remove from continue watching.

But you will need to do this after each watch.

This is continue watching. I’m looking to remove from ‘Next up’.

It works the same.

Ah, this appears to be absent from the LG app. I can do this on my web browser though.
Are certain features missing from some players?

It's not missing. To open this menu, press the menu or info button on your remote when the poster is selected.

Umm, no such button for LG as far as I know. Any menu button I've tried opens a TV settings menu. Unless someone that has a modern LG knows another way, I've tried just about every button.

The only way to get a menu up for me is to click into the title, which then loads the next screen that has a very similar menu, but is missing the option referenced above.

OK we'll need to look at supporting the long press context menu in the Emby LG app. Thanks.

Hi all,

Has this feature been removed?? I cannot find it in the Web UI or the android apps and have not been able to for months, probably prior to this topic starting?

HI, it has not been removed. Perhaps it was just never added to that screen. It will be in  your home screen continue watching though.

It used to be there once @Lukeit was the only placed i ever used it, i don't use next up on the home screen, only thing on my home screen is the libraries, any chance of getting it back?

When i click on the three dot menu on any "Next up" item the resulting menu has "Remove from continue watching" as the last item and, since "Next up" is just a slightly different form of "Continue watching" that is the function you are looking for. 

BTW: I use "legacy next up" rather that the normal next up as I find it better for my use. 

I hope this helps some.

Just added next up to the home screen and yes i can see it there but i do feel it would make just as much sense to have the option in the tv libraries, continue watching slider.

I'll just have to add next up to the home screen, remove what i want and then remove next up, rather clunky but it will do for now, definitely was in the continue watching menu at one point though, i have never used next up in the home screen in over 10yrs of using emby lol, i used to remove them from continue watching then about a year or so ago it vanished, i just thought it had been removed.

Thank you for the fast responses as always guys.

Or, if you really don't want to use it, add "Next up" at the very bottom of the home screen. Then you can leave it there and just ignore it when you are not using it. That is what i do with "Continue watching" as that row, for me, is nearly useless. I use "My media" and "Next up legacy" 95% of the time but i have a few other rows below that even if I almost never use them. It causes no problem to have extra rows if they are not used.
