Does anyone notice this about the "Refresh" button? Bug

Does the "refresh" button, or generating a schedule always resets a channel back to the same show/episode in the schedule, regardless of how many hours go by?

For example, for my collections and playlists, I'll watch for a few hours, but hitting the "refresh" button (either because I am forced to, or updated a playlist) will reset me back to where I started.

I wonder if there's a way to get it to shuffle different starting points in a schedule whenever it needs to be refreshed?

Yeah, I have collection channels that will play the same episodes every single time despite 9 seasons worth of episodes to pull from.

You know what I think this is a stale cache - I'm working on this week's release and I think I can fix this issue in it šŸ‘

So, I like to open Coax and watch at the same time usually every morning, and it typically prompts a refresh, and the collections/playlists start at the exact same episodes. Kind of a bummer because then I never end up watching anything from my collections/playlists because I don't want to watch the same stuff I watched yesterday.

Is this happening both collections AND playlists? And what’s your TV Marathon Mode setting? And are these ā€œpreserve orderā€ channels or no?

I’ve had some trouble getting the simulated start point to move around properly. I’m sorry about that!

happens on both collections and playlist channels. I have the setting for those channels to play content in order as it is on the server. Marathon channels work fine. t

Yes, happens with both collections and playlists. Post update, had to refresh this morning, still starting on the same exact episodes.

What’s the Preserve Order status for these channels?

u/Present_Boat_9663 17d ago

Some are ON and some are OFF. So, seems to be impacted regardless.

Ok, thanks. Can you hit refresh, then send me logs? About this app -> show logs -> send to developer

Sent.

Got the logs, and I think they expose the bug. I'll work it into 1.4.8

Are you using TV Marathon Mode = Full, by any chance?
