Continue Watching shows don't update automatically after watching

Server Version#:1.43.4.10903
Player Version#:Apple TV 28.6

When I have watched an episode and there isn’t any other episodes to follow, the episode i just watched remains in continue watching until I change libraries or restart the app.

Shows that have newer episodes to follow, again, don’t update to the next one, until I change libraries and come back or restart the app.

The episode updates on my Plex Server and on my other device, except for my Apple TV, since the update on Sept 16 2026

I have 3 AppleTV’s that have updated to this version and they all do the same, but my units that haven’t updated still reload the continue watching after a show has been played. This is a very frustrating user experience.

Thanks for report. Is it only when one item is in CW for you as well @Oz0n3 ?
