The "Continue watching" feature is the #1 reason why I picked up a Google TV and did away with the Roku Ultra, but the way it behaves in practice makes it mostly useless. Aside from Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm (middle 2) missing the show/episode info, if I select either of these, one of two things will happen: the episode will resume at the credits, or (more frequently) the episode will restart from the beginning, requiring me to back out, go to the Episodes list, and select the next episode. Then there's The X Files, which for whatever reason has the episode info but is missing the show title. Then there are several shows that appear here only sporadically, and for example I recently finished episodes of Trailer Park Boys and Demon Slayer that should appear before Seinfeld, but don't.
Is there a fix for this? As-is it's so inconsistent and buggy I'm considering going back to the Roku Ultra.
I use it all the time, no bugs. The last few shows I recall clicking on were on Stan (Australian streamer) and they worked perfectly.
It is. As soon as I've seen this I changed the launcher.
I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but this feature never worked. I only get random youtube videos, i dunno why
Whenever I watch from prime Netflix or Disney it shows on mine once watched it disappears and it pops when a lastest episode when available
I wouldn't call it "worthless", since they brought back the option to remove titles from there
It never updates for me. I have to open the app for it to be accurate, at which point it's useless.
It's also random which shows it decides to display.
Yeah! It really really bothers me. And what makes me pretty mad is the fact that Android TV does that flawlessly! I have a Xiaomi TV running the latest Android TV and I can say for a fact that it's much better than Google TV
Pretty much. I have 2+ ccwgtv and it's apparent they don't usually share the information between each other so stopping on one tv usually doesn't carry over.
It's so annoying how worthless actually is. Prime Video shows empty squares since almost 3 weeks. I restored the device and then I ran the last update for Android TV, but it doesn't fix that issue. I feel trapped in this unpersonalizable system, without options. When we activate 'show only apps' option, ¾ screen it lefts empty, instead show all apps in the whole screen. Android TV it's just a disaster for me. But FLauncher just fix a half of the issues. 🤦
Hah so it looks like it’s not just me. Just got Google TV and continue watching never updates properly. Haphazard at best.
I’ll probably use a launcher app so I don’t have to see this stupid shit anymore
Why?
Continue watching doesn't work with my netflix or prime
Couldn't find a reddit for this and don't know how to make one so pls forgive if this isn't aloud. It's about android firestick? I have Downloader but everytime I try to flick the old school skin flicks channels like Playboy TV, Vixen (Vivid) can't rember the name for that one, but I digress, as clique as it sounds I do like the softcover ports due to them having a storyline usually cheesy but still. How can I find them on my Downloader app
I think one needs a better app! You don't know any? Just asking you because even using it before,,, whatever; It probably was WORTHLESS!
Real useful solutions would be connected to trakt.tv or simkl. This way, the progress is not tied to a single device or whatever and can be resyncer on any app in the future. I swear piracy always has better solutions than legal stuff 😂
