Continue Watching pulling from unpinned libraries suddenly

Server Version#: 1.40.4.8679
Player Version#: 10.19.0.1142

I have a library of “test files” on my server. The library is unpinned on most clients since it’s just meant for checking for issues/playback quality. Yesterday I made two changes to my setup:

  • I upgraded my server to 1.40.4.8679.
  • I upgraded the client on my Fire Stick 4K Max to 10.19.0.1142.

Since then I’ve noticed an issue with the Continue Watching hub on the Home Screen. When I finish watching something, if I back up to the Home Screen it’s now showing the partially-watched programs from the Test Videos library even though I don’t have that library pinned (so its items should be hidden). These partially-watched items have been that way for a week or two now. But they only started appearing on the home screen yesterday.

If I go to the sidebar and temporarily change from Home to one of the pinned libraries, and then switch back to Home, the display refreshes and the items from the Test Videos library are gone again. I’ve only seen this happen in cases of watching a program all the way through and backing up from the post-play screen.

I haven’t seen the issue on another client yet, but I think this is the only device I have running 10.19 right now (I wait for the Google Play store to update the other Android TV devices normally).

Okay, just watched a program on my Hisense Android TV and saw the same thing when I backup out to Home again. Checked the app version and it was 10.19 as well, so I guess it updated overnight.

I haven’t seen the issue tonight on my Shield, which is still on 10.18.

I was able to reproduce the issue and am filing a ticket to be looked at

Any update on this? I’m experiencing this exact issue with the same versions in my stack. It’s not good having thumbnails that weren’t intended for an audience suddenly appearing where it shouldn’t.
