Server Version#: Latest public
Player Version#: any
From time to time, a random TV item will be pushed into ‘continue watching’, usually episodes of the same few TV shows (such as _How it’s Made_ or _three_ seperate _Sonic the Hedgehog_ shows). All these shows are entirely marked as “watched”.
If marked as “watched” under ‘continue watching’, instead of removing them from the section, the next episode takes its place until manually removed. If left unchecked, they accumulate in the ‘continue watching’ section.
Is this a bug or some kind of weird feature? If the latter, can it be disabled? It is highly annoying!
Thank you!

Select “remove from continue watching”

Yes, this is what I meant by “manually removing” them. They come back after a few days afterward.

Do these items show any play history? Check as soon as it appears. (Hover over the show poster, click the 3-dot menu, and select “View Play History.”)

Will do!
These shows are part of a TV show playlist that has over 3,000 items and play it on random. I suspect they pop up when an episode of the respective show is played, but they shouldn’t because they are already watched, and the examples I gave above are literally the only shows that I have noticed to do this out of over 50 in the playlist (but it is possible there are a couple others too but that rarely play due to only having a few episodes).

Is this playlist usually played using a client running on an Android device?
Do the posters in Continue Watching have a full orange line at their bottom margin?

No, the list is played on a Roku TV. There are not orange progress bars on them, no.
