Completed / unseen films keep getting shown in "Continue Watching" - noncrab - 2025-07-28
This only seems to happen with a few recently added films.
What I'll observe is that:
- Films A and B (not started, and completed respectively) are showing up under Continue Watching on the home page.
- I'll toggle the "mark played/watched" button twice (to reset the status)
- Reload the page. The film no longer shows up.
- <time passes>
- Without any other changes, the film is now in Continue Watching again. (Sometimes the playback position gets reset to ~halfway through the film)
I've poked around a bit, enabled debug logging, and as best I can tell it has something to do with a batch job, in the sense that:
- I've noticed that the resume status is contained in the .nfo XML
- Comparing the modification time of the .nfo files seems to point to a time when Jellyfin was running a batch job, seemingly associated with MediaBrowser.Providers.Manager.ProviderManager.
- The mtime of the file
It's going to be quite time consuming to redact the logs, so if there are specific lines I should pick out, please let me know. I currently have TmdbMovieProvider and OmdbItemProvider enabled for this Library.
Can anyone help please?

I had this problem for ages and tried a few times to get help on here, and it was never resolved. The only way I got it to stop was to set "Save user watch data to NFO files for" to "none" in Dashboard>Libraries>NFO Settings. It's not ideal, but best I can do.

I'll give it a go, thanks!

Whelp. I restarted the server to disable debug logging, and now it's a different #@! file that's doing it now.

Okay, so I noticed in the dashboard that one of my devices was apparently still playing the episode. Force-removing those devices seems to have helped so far, at least.
