Finally got back into sailing the high seas and, first thing i did after getting plex set up was get parks and rec since ive missed it so bad after it left netflix. Its great so far but occasionally it loses track of what ive watched and picks up in the middle of like 9 episodes back?

Then again I was also having the same problem sometimes with hulu…could this possibly be something to do with my roku itself?

    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.

        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.

    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.
