watched movie won't go away

I have a movie in the Continue Watching section on all of my devices. I’ve completed watching it, and I’ve marked it Watched numerous times, but it won’t go away. I’m using Plex Windows Server Version 1.1.4.2757 on a Windows 10 pc. Is there any way to get this movie out of the continue watching section. It doesn’t even report / restart in the correct location.

This sounds suspiciously like database corruption.

But before you attempt a repair, make sure that there is not a Roku (or similar device) somewhere placed in perpetual ‘Pause’ mode in this movie :wink:

updated commands for Windows (replacing the four commands in the above linked procedure),
necessary in current releases of SQLite

sqlite3 "%LocalAppData%\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Databases\com.plexapp.plugins.library.db" "PRAGMA integrity_check"

sqlite3 "%LocalAppData%\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Databases\com.plexapp.plugins.library.db" .dump > dump.sql

rename  "%LocalAppData%\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Databases\com.plexapp.plugins.library.db" com.plexapp.plugins.library.db.original

sqlite3 "%LocalAppData%\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Databases\com.plexapp.plugins.library.db" < dump.sql

If you previously moved the Plex data folder to a different location than the default, replace %LocalAppData% with the actual parent directory path.

Yes there was a device stuck in Pause mode on this movie. When I cleared it, the issue was resolved. Thanks!

I know this is old but this happened to me so I thought I would share what worked:

  1. Unmatch media
  2. Mark watched
  3. Match media
