Universal App: Home Screen updates

[MKay 6]

Hello,

ich recently switched from AppleTV to AndroidTV. Specifically Google Streamer 4K.

ich tested both the deprecated Tv app and the universal app. I stuck with the universal since the forums state this is the future. 
 

I am pretty happy with the app and all works. Except for updates of the Home Screen. When I turn the tv off and add a new episode or watch an episode on another device and then come back to the tv, the home screens „continue warching“ is still as if I turned it off. Going to the android Home Screen and reopen the app nothing updates. 
I need to force close the app and restart or watch another episode and return to the Home Screen to have it update. 
currently I solve this by navigating to the show in my favorites, enter the season and play the new episode. 
I with it would update when the app is back in foreground.

is there a setting or anyone else having this problem? It worked perfectly on my appletv and iOS devices. 
 

thanks and I hope I described my „problem“ understandably
