How do I continue playing today a TV episode that I stopped yesterday? Or start playing today the next episode after the one I played yesterday?
I thought that “On Deck” was supposed to do this, but it doesn’t seem to be doing it.
This happens using both the Windows Player App and the Roku Channel App.
I watch an episode for a while, then I have to stop. When I come back, I would like to pick up where I left off. But when I go to the series top-level and click Play, it continues playing a completely different episode. It’s the same episode that’s displayed on the Home tab. The episode seems to be “stuck”.
Or I finish an episode, and I stop. When I come back, I want to play the next episode. But the same “stuck” episode as described above continues to play.
Am I misunderstanding “On Deck”? Or is it having a problem?
I loaded the web player and continued playing the on-deck episode S04E06 to the end, then I stopped the player and deleted cookies and cache.
Then I went to the Windows Player app, played on-deck S04E06 (still there) to the end, and stopped playing.
After that, different episode S2E04 was then on-deck. So I played that to the end, and then a different episode S03E22 was on-deck. And so on, and so on. Always some seemingly “random” episode.
I then played the episode S05E17 that I actually wanted to watch, on the Windows Player, and stopped it. On the Home Tab, that episode S05E17 was listed. Hooray! But on the top-level page for the series, S03E08 was on-deck.
I had hoped on-deck would always reflect the most-recent episode played, no matter what.
I will check the Roku next, play whatever is on-deck to the end, and try again.
Or inspect them yourself. Take a look at the Plex Media Server.log file and seek for messages about database corrupt or malformed.
If you find these, you may have to repair your database.
