Watch status of particular episode keeps switching to unwatched

[piejanssens 3]

Whatever I do I can't get the watched status of Vice.S03E00 (pre-season special) stuck to 'watched'.

I tried setting it to watched through the emby browser app, refresh, looks fine, after a few hours/days 'unwatched'.

Tried setting it through Emby Kodi addon, sometimes status just doesn't change, or when it does it's reset the next day.

I do have trakt addon installed as a plugin for Emby.

 

I don't know where to look to get to the bottom of this.

Same thing happens for me, would be interested to see if there is a solution.

Same show, same "special" episode?

Are you also using Trakt in Emby?

No not using Trakt, just forgets what I have marked as watched, I don't use the Kodi addon either I'm accessing Emby via the web interface and Android.

if you use sonarr then disable its metadata features.

Not using sonarr, I'm using SickRage without any metadata options checked.

I'm having a potentially related issue and also use sickrage. Some episodes are marked as watched immediately upon import in Emby.

Can you have an episode 00? Specials are usually meant to go into season 00 with a episode number as shown on tvdb. See here https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/TV%20naming

Then it is defined in metadata where in the show it should appear ie before season 3 episode 1

 

Perhaps this is happening because it's not being identified properly when scanning due to episode number 00?

Vice.S03E00 (pre-season special)

This is should actually be Vice.S00E19 (pre-season special)

Thanks guys, I corrected the episode number and now the status is stored and kept that way.
