Do you use multiple devices? This occurs to me if start watch on iPad, pause there and finish on tv without properly closing the iPad app. If I now go back to the iPad, it overwrites the progress of the Paused episode with progress on iPad.

nope not yet. only the one TV.
Hmm.. So plex running directly on "smart" TV or via a device plugged in to a TV? Either way, I think the knowledge about which operating system is running on the playing device would make failure analysis more easy.
It's a completely up to date Roku. The computer is Windows 10.
edit- Roku is software version 12.5.0 build 4172 - CR. Just hit me the different models might run slightly different.
Hmm 🤔 I sadly have no experience in Roku devices..
its cool thanks tho :D
Sometimes when you skip the credits or manually go to the next episode it doesn’t register it as watched. I figure it has something to do with the remaining time before you skip
I've just been letting it run while I watch TV. Then like I come back later and it starts back up a bunch of episodes back and when I go to look at my history it doesn't even show that the episodes had been watched.
Yeah, it can be flaky. Scan your episode lists and if anything is missing a Watched indicator that you know should be there, set it manually. I don't know the Roku GUI (every Plex GUI is kind of different) but either long-pressing the action button or using a button on the screen should let you set an ep to Watched.
Got ya thanks :D
Because Plex is buggy as absolute fuck. Pray to God that this is the worst you get.
Edit: lol who in the actual fuck downvoted this comment and why?
I don't know exactly what's your problem, but I would like you to recommend using Jellyfin https://github.com/jellyfin
I have Plex lifetime plus, but I still prefer using Jellyfin...
ill read up on this thanks :D
The only disadvantage I see is that you need to manually put the TV guide, while Plex has it automatically already. (and you will need this to record Live TV)
Also, Plex can be accessed from outside internet without opening ports on your home router (that's much safer). While with Jellyfin, if you want to access from outside internet to your home, you will need to open ports (and I don't recommend it). What I did is to rent a server on a datacenter with like 18T for my stuff, that's not cheap but that server also has many more services, so it's compensated. 😛
Find whatever fits better for you.
Does Plex offer NAT traversal now? It wasn't a thing last year.
You mean this? https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289506-remote-access/ Step 2: For automatic configuration, make sure your router supports the “UPnP” or “NAT-PMP” feature
EDIT: This is what I mean: https://support.plex.tv/articles/216766168-accessing-a-server-through-relay/ There is no "NAT traversal" if I'm not wrong.
Keep in mind jellyfin doesn't work with shuffle, the first episode will be random but then plays them all in order.
What makes UPnP more secure than opening ports?
Isn't that the same? Who said that?

Oh interesting! I didn't know they had any option besides the UPnP remote connection.
This seems more akin to something like Cloudflare tunnels.
You want it to work all of the time, well, frankly that's just unreasonable
Unfortunately Plex is just kind of crap like that.
One time it decided that it only had episode 6 series 4 of bones, and none of the others even though they were sat right there in the file system, I could play them and everything from Windows. How did it manage that, no idea.
When it does stuff like that you just have to resync your library and eventually it'll actually do it and start working again.
Sounds like someone else is watching on your profile.
That would erase my watch history? I haven't shared with anyone yet btw.
It's not this. It happens to me as well.
