Continue Watching is buggy? Unable to figure out why

Plex Media Server

I’ve spoken to the engineer.

  1. This is a Workflow change.

  2. The change includes being able to import that content which you watch in other places.

  3. There is still a little bit of clumsiness in the reporting HOWEVER
    – the fundamental change is Watch History / ViewState is no longer Server-specific
    – These have been moved to the account level.
    e.g. You can start watching on one server and pick up where you left off on another server which has the same content

  4. Over the next releases, the little issues will resolve HOWEVER
    – Watch history is HISTORY, and NOT ViewState

  5. There is no API / nothing to do to “Queue something up to your Continue Watching” short of playing it the minimum amount of time.

  6. Investigating the other server I showed above; they are also making the same core workflow change. The 'Legacy" option will be removed.

  7. I looked at the online services as well. They already have this workflow.

  8. Bottom line, your workflow must change. You now put things in your WatchList.
