Works fine when watching to the end. But If you watch the episode halfway or even quarter way through, and then stop and mark as watched, on the next sync and in some cases only on next time relaunching Infuse it goes back to its point that you watched until and unwatched status appears.
I’m seeing a similar thing. You watch an episode, perhaps you pause for a little while as you do something else, or even stop watching for a while. You come back and start up where you left off and you reach the end. Trakt shows it as watched and yet when one of my other ATVs is turned on it reverts back to the watched half way through status. The original ATV then updates with that old status.
Using the button to say the episode has been watched puts you back into that loop. The only thing that seems to fix it is to rewatch the episode and then this overwrites the half watched status.
Doesn’t seem to happen every time though. I’m using all the most recent versions of both infuse and tvOS. Hope that helps
(Edit: @james This is simular to the bug I reported a while ago and you fixed successfully. This has only started happening again in the last couple versions)
This happens across the ecosystem, I saw it happening on my iphone as well as on ATV and Mac. It happens on the same shows and episodes there.
It started with 8.3
Version 8.3.1 does not fix it.
I only saw it on tv episodes for now, TRAKT shows them as watched. It doesn’t happen on all TV episodes, it appears to be very specific ones. For example, two particular episodes of “Trillion game” kept being reset (meaning, it remembers the last watch time correctly, but not the watch status).
When I set it to “mark as watched” it appears to be set correctly, but if I exit the tv show and come back, it’s back to partial watched.
I had to fix the episodes where this happened by just fast forwarding and going all the way to the end.
After the 8.3 update (and still in 8.3.1), marking a movie or episode as watched often doesn’t stick. The watched status reverts back to partially watched or unwatched within seconds — sometimes right after an iCloud sync or app restart.
Here’s a summary of what’s being observed by multiple users (myself included):
Works fine if you watch the entire episode until the end — it gets marked correctly.
If you stop halfway and manually choose “Mark as Watched”, it quickly reverts back to in progress or unwatched.
Some users (myself included) noticed it happens right after iCloud sync runs — suggesting the issue may be sync-related.
It occurs on Apple TV, iPhone, and Mac, so it doesn’t seem platform-specific.
It does not affect all episodes — only certain titles or shows.
The issue appeared right after the 8.3 update, where Firecore mentioned iCloud sync had been changed/improved.
I’ve seen similar reports in other threads as well:
“Strange watched status issue” (watched state flips back and forth after iCloud sync)
“Watched indicator bug” (episodes stay at 99.9% watched but not marked complete)
“Infuse / Emby tvOS marking as watched bug” (older thread, same behavior)
It seems like the watched flag in the local database or iCloud record conflicts after the latest sync update.
Would be great if Firecore could confirm this is a known issue and whether a fix is in progress for an upcoming release.
Thanks for all the hard work — Infuse is fantastic overall, but this bug makes it hard to track viewing progress accurately.
I don’t think so…more likely is Trakt related, since (sorry if i repeat myself) I don’t use Icloud sync (only Trakt sync) and I have the same bug.
Anyway, it looks like something is changing this morning. I’ve tried again the button “Mark as watched” and it keeps as “Watched”., after infuse restart (but not all the time)
Maybe James did something on Trakt sync…I don’t know
Also, speed in which you go in & out doesn’t matter. I see an episode that was half watched from 2 weeks ago, I enter, mark it as watched and then watch another episode or mark another episode as watched and it resets when I exit the show and enter it again.
