Is there a way to prevent episodes from previously watched shows from reappearing in the Next Up queue?

[icegoddess222 10]

occasionally when my friend comes over, he will put on old cartoons to watch and then he will stop them randomly mid-episode when we switch to doing something else.

as a result my next up feed looks like this all the time:

i have the shows (grim adventures and dexters lab) marked as watched already, but whenever an episode is stopped partially through they remain in the next up queue and i will have to manually go into each episode and unclick 'mark unplayed' and reclick 'mark played' to remove them. is there a way to make it so that previously watched shows dont reappear in this queue?

the same thing happens whenever i want to go back and rewatch a scene from an episode of a show ive already watched, which similarly causes it to repopulate into the next up queue wherever i leave the episode off, which is kind of annoying

Right-click, long-press the unwanted item, and at the bottom of the menu is "Remove from Continue Watching" (I don't use Next Up, so it might be slightly different, I suppose).  If you can't get that menu on your device (e.g. I can't on a Roku), use the web client logged in to the same user.

that does remove it from the list, but it doesnt prevent the show from coming back if watched again

Give him his own login?

You can lend your support here:

I don't think this makes sense as a global default setting.  Fine having an option for it.  But, with the default changing, that means if you start watching a movie or show that was previously watched, and stop it partway through, Emby won't remember the position.  I don't like that as the default behavior.

i dont think the next up queue works for movies anyway. i just played these two movies halfway, one previously watched and one not

and they dont show up in my next up queue

as for tv shows, the next up queue doesnt particularly work well for rewatching tv shows that are marked as watched anyway, because the episode will only stay in the next up queue if you watch the episode partially and stop it; if you watch until the end, then back out, it won't suggest the next episode at all 

agree an option to would be the best option though

It's not the next up queue.  It's the continue watching queue.  And that one definitely works for movies for me.

There is currently no way to stop it from reappearing. We can always add options for that.
