This is a rather strange problem and I do not know where it actually comes from but has to do with "watched" status so I will start here.
My setup:
Single shared SQL database on a non-KODI machine.
3 seperate KODI's connected to 3 TV's. None of these do library auto updates mainly due to the time it takes them to do it. Idea is to take that "load" off of them.
1 KODI running on a windows box that is used for all updating of database. This machine does not get used for watching any content. It is used for all downloading and distribution of TV and Movies to a NAS device. NAS is a homemade setup with approx 32TB storage. Video library is currently about 650 movies and around 13,000 TV episodes. This box runs 24/7. I run your watched state addon and also the "watchdog" addon on this machine to update the database as quick as possible. So far so good.....
The problem... When watching TV episodes the watch status checkbox will do the following. Say you sit down and start watching a series at episode 3. Episodes 1 & 2 are watched and checked off. You watch episode 3 and at the end of it the show will get checked off. So far so good.
Now you watch episode 4 all the way through and at the end it is checked as watched but episode 3 gets unchecked. Move on to episode 5 and at the end 5 will be "watched" and 3 AND 4 will be "unwatched" And so on down the line.
This is consistent and does the same behaviour on all 3 of the units we use to watch. All are v17.6.
This has been going on for some time but I finally decided to post about it.
Any ideas?
BTW... Don't know if relevant but all units use the "Transparency" skin.
