I was wondering if there plans to be a grid as the title says - something that you can pin shows to so that you can access them quickly in the home screen, without having to search through a library to get to the show you’re currently watching. The Continue Watching feature _sort of_ works, but if you finish an episode, then it won’t show up in that list. Unless I’m missing a feature?
Thanks!

That must be a bug.
Continue Watching will show the next episode that’s up.
Provided you added the tv show in a library of the type “TV Shows” and not just “Other Videos”.
Do also verify that your episodes have a “Released at” date.

Interesting - this has been the behavior I’ve seen since I started using Plex many moons ago! I just a random sample of 5 different shows, all within my library for “TV Shows”, they all have a release date in the metadata. It seems to show the next episode that is not complete. For example, I just finished an episode of Futurama, S02E10. The episode that showed up in Continue Watching is S04E08, halfway through, as apparently I stopped watching that one midway through… Is that expected behavior? If I hadn’t had any “non-complete” episodes of Futurama, would it have shown S02E11?
Do all the episodes need to be marked Unwatched in order for the Continue Watching feature to work as you describe? I hate that little orange triangle lol so I always mark everything Played when I add it 😕

That’s correct. For continue watching to pick the next episode up, the show needs to be unwatched. Alternatively you can watch the 1st 1-2 min of the next episode – that way you’ll always get that showing in the continue watching hub.

If you want to re-watch a show, change it’s “played” status to “unplayed”.
You can do that for a whole show/series/season at once, so it’s not that much of a deal.

@OttoKerner @tom80H Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks for the insight!
