Hey guys. I’m having a weird issue on one of my servers with the watched/unwatched indicators. It seems that when another user on my Plex server watches something, it tags that item as “Watched” or “In Progress” in my Plex library. Any ideas why this might be happening or an idea of how I might fix this? It’s really driving me crazy lol. The only issue I’m having at the moment.
Which Plex server version is used?
Is the user probably using a generic DLNA client and not a real Plex client?
Are you using the trakt.tv plugin?

Usually I’m using the latest Plex Pass server update, and no, nothing is DLNA. It is a remote server setup. I am actually using the trakt plugin. Think this might have something to do with it???

Definitely. If you did not create filter rules in the plugin, it will take playbacks by every user and write them back into your user profile. You need to tell the plugin that it should only count playbacks by you.
It is in the documentation of the plugin on GitHub AFAIR.
I’m having the same issue, except, I’m not using trakt.
I have my family set up with their own accounts, and they view from their own homes.
I have my own account, and it’s not shared.
Sometimes even after the media is just added, it marks itself as watched.

Did you add your family members to your Plex Home? If so, they might still be unwittingly using your account, as switching is fast unless you have set a PIN to your own plex account.

Are you using DLNA clients in your network? Some of those are maybe “playing” your media to generate preview pictures and gather technical data about the file.
Disable DLNA for a while and see if the behaviour continues.
