When using the Watchlist to watch the local server versions of TV episodes in series that have the “Delete After” option set, the episodes are marked as Watched in the applicable library, but they never get deleted. Episodes are deleted as expected when watched via any flow other than through the Watchlist.
Server Version#: 1.29.2.6334-817e19b35 (Linux)
Player Version#: 8.11 (4115) (Apple TV), 4.94.2 (hosted web via Chrome)
Steps to reproduce:
-
In a TV Shows library, edit a series that is also in the Watchlist. In the Advanced section, change “Delete episodes after playing” to “After a day” or “On next refresh”. Save and accept the warnings about file deletion.
-
From the Watchlist, play an episode of the show from the Plex server library (i.e., not from a streaming service). Once watched, wait for the applicable “delete after” time to elapse.
Expected behavior: Episode is marked as watched in the server library and is deleted on the first refresh after the “delete after” interval has elapsed (same behavior as if the episode had been launched directly from a library, Up Next, Recently Added, etc.)
Current behavior: Episode is marked as watched in the server library, but it never gets deleted.
