    SOLVED: Completed / unseen films keep getting shown in "Continue Watching"

    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 
    I'm not quite sure how to read these logs, but that's my best guess. (Otherwise I'm a relatively proficient software engineer, but have no clue about C#, or Jellyfin)

    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.
    Specifics:
    Jellyfin 10.10.7 (docker) on Debian 12.6 // N100 16GB
    Storage: Synology DS220+ CIFS mounts
    Clients: Jellyfin4Kodi (Addon Mode), Android, Android TV, Roku, Symfonium

    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.
