Plex does still have the episodes but for whatever reason the episode guid changed due to the reorder at the online site (tmdb in my example) which sends the played status to an unplayed state which is what I reported on the previous post. Really this should most likely be discussed on that thread Plex Episodes changing from played to unplayed due to online metadata source change but was auto closed 
No, I’m asking for development to look into a way to preserve the watched status when episode reordering it done via the cloud providers (tmdb or tvdb), like was done in the detailed example I gave in the other thread.
This btw… does not happen very often, but when it does its a pain.
