I’ve been using open pht since it came out. Never had this problem before. It started a few days ago as far as I can remember. After watching a TV episode to completion, it does not get marked as watched any more. I have to manually mark each episode as watched, otherwise it remains as the next item to be played. The problem is with all TV series.  
Any ideas?

Same issue… since the latest version of Plex Server (NAS Synology). SRT stop working too.

Just read it is a server side issue and will be fixed in the next pms update.

@seanfilidis Suggest you install version 1.6.2 of OpenPHT, it contains a fix for your watched status issue.

I’m having the same problem with shows and movies not changing to “watched” after they are completed. I’m also finding that my “on deck” isn’t updating with the tv shows or movies I’ve partially watched and that if I stop a movie or tv show and then try to replay it starts from the beginning and doesn’t give me the option to start where I last left off. All this since the new update… very frustrating…

I’m using Plex for Windows Media Center on 2 computers with 2 TVs and then have my Plex server on a different computer in my home office. Does OpenPHT need to be installed on all these computers or only on the Plex server computer?

OpenPHT is a Plex Client, just install it instead of ‘Plex for Windows Media Centre’, whatever that is!
