Episode counter not changing after watching show

[dbott 18]

Emby Server 4.9.5.0
Nvidia Shield Pro
Emby Android Ver 3.5.55

This has been happening for a while now, but I figured I would just report it seeing that the app was just updated.

When you watch a show and complete it, the green show counter icon in the top right hand corner of the clipart doesn't reduce unless you exit and go back in. (With Emby for Android TV it does work as it should.)

In the screen shot, if I were to watch The American Revolution, the counter will remain at five even after watching a show. If I was to watch The Ark, which is currently showing 1 show remaining, it should remove that from the screen entirely when I finish watching that episode as I have no unwatched episodes. It doesn't do either of these things unless you exit out and go back in and then it's updated.  

(Note that when you exit out of a watched show (and have watched enough of it), it shows show the next episode to play correctly. So it seems to be a counter refresh issue.)

Hope you can fix this. 

Thanks

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks.

Hi Luke...

Also...When you PAUSE a show/movie you are watching, and the ANDROID screen saver comes on, the show un-pauses  and continues to play behind the screen screensaver.  You can hear the audio as it plays.

Is that with any content or Dolby Vision/HDR specifically?

Does not matter it seems.   I am watching a standard 1080P TV show currently and it happened...Thus it reminded me to add that to be looked into.     

I ended up needing to change the ANDROID screen saver to from 5 mins to 15.

Okay thanks, I had caught it falling back from DV to HDR but I don't watch much SDR content on my TV. Would add to this thread.

Thanks for the link.  I added that I to have the issue with current versions running. (Seeing the thread is older with different versions.)

@Luke Any update is this is going to be fixed?   

 

(Also the request I had sent you in PM about being able to see upcoming shows and the dates like you could in Emby For Android TV so you do not need to go to the 3 dots, then all the way to the bottom, then select up comming, just to get the list.  It would be nice to have it it visible.)     

Thanks
