LG Medialink

Will need to get logs for unwatched filter requests through Medialink. There may be some differences between it and Smartshare like what we found when the original no files issue was identified.

May be @R-P-H can help us again by getting server logs when unwatched filter is being used on Media Link?

@sa2000 I can confirm that the unwatched filter works fine for my Movie library. Can anyone confirm if the issue is related to only the TV shows library? If so, I can create a TV show library and test it as currently I do not have one…

Thanks @R-P-H for your help

@kyse @way2easy could you confirm if it was just TV Shows that was having the issue?

Have just checked LG MEDIALINK and it appears that only the unwatched tv shows filter is not working. Unwatched movies works fine

I am having the same exact problem. Watched episodes showing on Unwatched filter. Only happens on DLNA and Medialink. Web and Android are fine.

Latest working is 1.0.3. 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 and 1.2.2 reproduce this bug.

Also worth noticing that if the entire season has been watched, Unwatched filter hides it as its supposed to.

Ill provide logs when I get home.

That would be annoying, have not noticed as I’m a bit lucky with having a Smart TV model.
Normally use PlexTV app.

I reproduced the problem, it also happens with DLNA Client (I used VLC on my Android phone connecting to DLNA Plex Server to test).

There you go.

Clean install of 1.2.2
Named server TestServer
Enabled verbose logging
Added 192.168.1.0/24 in Networks that are allowed without auth
Added a library called ā€œTestLibraryā€ with one directory ā€œ/mnt/Midia/Series/Westworldā€ which has 2 episodes
Marked episode 1 as watched (on Plex Web using Chrome)
Checked on Nexus 5x (Plex Android) and episode 1 is watched. Episode 2 unwatched.
Fired up VLC (same Nexus 5X) to access Plex DLNA Server, but nothing showed on ā€œVideoā€.
Tried to add network 192.168.1.0/24 on LAN Networks too.
Fired up VLC again, nothing.
Stopped plexmediaserver and restarted it.
Fired up VLC again, this time it showed the library I created named TestLibrary
Navigated to Video > TestLibrary > Unwatched > Westworld
Result: Both videos (eps 1 and 2) show as unwatched, even though Plex Web shows ep. 1 as watched since I marked it as watched.
Stopped plexmediaserver and restart it.
Started MediaLink on my 2012 LG TV (non WebOs)
Chose TestLibrary, then applied the Unwatched filter, nagivated to Westworld.
Result: Same, both videos (ep 1 and2) show as unwatched, even though ep. 1 is marked as watched.

Logs attached.

Thank you @danielponte
I have raised this now with the development team

Do you know which version of Plex Media Server this was working in last ?

I tried with 1.0.3 and it works. 1.1.3, 1.1.4 and 1.2.2 are broken, so I’d guess this bug started on 1.1.3.

Thanks.

You sir, are a star.

A fix for the unwatched filter for TV Shows will be incorporated in a future release of Plex Media Server
I have no information as to which version it will be in

If/when you learn the release version, would you please be good enough to update here?

Thanks, sa!

A fix for the TV Shows unwatched filter for LG TV and DLNA has now been released in version 1.3.0. This is going out as PlexPASS release initially. I will update this thread when it is available in a public release
