I’ve noticed that if I use Webhooks when I watch live TV it is buggy. For example, the “start watching” event triggers correctly, but it will end after less then 1 minute.

I’m using Webhooks for trakt.tv and this behavior causes the movie that I am tuning into to become submitted as watched if I only watch it for about a minute. Even if it is in the middle of the movie.

Can something be done about this?

I guess I’m bumping this. Perhaps the easiest thing here is to just turn off webhooks functionality entirely on the Live TV section?

It doesn’t make much sense anyway because a TV channel has no normal start/stop events anyway, I suppose. Home automation would probably be very hard to use here.

@sa2000 what do you think?

Thank you - I am following this up with the development team and if agreed, will raise a request to disable it for live tv

I have raised an internal issue to have Webhooks and Live TV looked into
