Just noticed that as you can see NCIS is half watched from my iPad and when I look at Plex Web there is no Continue Watching on the top like there used to be.

So, I guess I will have to wait another few years for this to maybe get fixed.

_One step forward, two steps back_ seems to have become Plex’s motto these last few years.

I can confirm that on my end the Continue Watching row is gone too.

For TV shows continue watching is redundant anyway. Why have the same show appear twice to enable the ability to continue watching it? I wish continue watching and all other rows/hubs would be optional rather than required but Plex does not think their users are smart enough are smart enough to handle choice.

That is exactly the problem with Plex nowadays, lack of customizability in every regard.

I’m fairly certain this is the correct behavior. On Deck will show partially watched TV Show episodes, Continue Watching is for Movies/Videos. This avoids redundancy as mentioned above.

Nope, sometimes works, sometimes not.

@Anijake Hmm, I would say it’s more likely what you show above is in error. I’ll forward it along though. Thanks.

Why? That is how it works on ATV. Why would it be any different on another client.

@Anijake I was incorrect about the TV Shows apparently, here are the ways this works:

1. On Deck is for TV Shows only.
2. Continue Watching will show for Movies and TV Shows.
3. The window for Continue Watching is 7 days, after that it will be dropped off.

Perhaps #3 is what you ran into here? How long ago was it that you watched that episode?

Nope, as per first screen shot, that was the next day.
