Sudden bugs!

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.24.1.4931
Player Version#:8.22.0.27533
I believe my software is up to date. Everything was working fine and then, yesterday, out of the blue I started having all kinds of odd bugs. (I HAD NOT installed any update to the server or player and yet it started misbehaving.) First “Continue playing” vanished from the home screen. (Not huge as it still appears in the library, under the “recommendations” tab.) but more frustrating is “Mark as played” no longer has any effect. And when I watch a movie (to the last frame) it still remains marked as unplayed! (There are 3000 movies on the HD plugged into the shield, so this is a real issue!) And if I sort by “date viewed” movies that I’ve watched since this started do not appear. Plex is no longer keeping a record of what and when I’ve viewed. Also, it appears IMDB is no longer available to me as a metadata agent on my laptop.

What is really puzzling is all these troublesome glitches appeared out of the blue! Without installing an update!

Does anyone have ANY advice or guidance??? (Be forever grateful!!)

PS. There is no way to roll back to the previous server version, is there? (it was perfectly solid.)

Let me guess… Android player? My continue watching on Android randomly disappears too along with all the posters on a specific server among a whole bunch of other problems but Roku is running pretty solid.

Yes, It’s an Nvidia Shield. More troubling than continue watching is it is no longer keeping a record of what/when I watch… mark as played isn’t working. It’s worked PERFECTLY for a few years, now this. (I am NOT gonna start over editing meta data on 3000 movies!)

I quit using any Android client and switched to Roku almost 1 year ago because the player is completely broken compared. To be honest I would rather use Android as there’s more compatability IF the player worked correctly but I won’t touch it with a 10ft pole.

This is so accurate it hurts.
The Android client needs some SERIOUS love.

I have no idea why they continued to bolt on to the mobile Android client as opposed to starting fresh when building an Android TV client.
