How do you restore Continue Watching for a show manually removed?

After manually removing a show from “Continue Watching” hub how do I get it back on there?

  • Watching another episode didn’t bring it back.
  • Resetting the show’s entire watch status didn’t fix it.
  • Resetting the home screen layout didn’t fix it.
  • The Plex Dance didn’t fix it (nor did it reset watched progress).

Watching another episode always works for me. I collect episodes of a Youtube series, but only watch every few episodes. When I watch a single episode, it keeps popping up on “Continue Watching”, and I have to remove it again.

Are there any “unplayed” episodes of the show? If they are all watched, then it will not offer to “Continue Watching” any episodes unless you are mid-episode. Which might be something worth trying: Start an episode, and stop about ~2 minutes in. A Continue Watching entry should show up now.

Stopping an episode mid-play caused it to suddenly populate the Continue Watching hub. Then after that finished it filled the next episode as expected.

Up until that, no amount of marking played/unplayed (even resetting the entire series and marking a few) would work.

Strange. But it works now, so yay!
