Bug in the "Continue Watching Section"

I just checked, and it is still not back on my app, even after I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Oh well.

@vivi_1485

Mine is back on TV (I watch via Roku) but not my laptop (Google Chrome).

When I open my Viki account on Microsoft Edge browser the ‘Continue Watching’ option is there. So, it must have something to do with my [laptop] browser.

I signed out and back in to my Google account.

Then I signed out and back in to my Viki account and ‘Continue Watching’ reappeared.
I’m a happy camper now, lol.

Mine is still missing on my app. Tried all the suggestions they gave on the help website, but it didn’t work.

It’s not just you @natyh , I believe, continue watching is indeed broken again as it hasn’t updated to include the shows I was watching last night, but I will need to watch some more stuff to confirm that.

It is a hit or miss for me! Sometimes I see them - Sometimes I don’t

I’ve just noticed that the continue watching feature is not updating for me either. It was working a few days ago.

I can definitely confirm that the continue watching feature is definitely broken again. Just like last time, it is rarely updating or if it does, it takes around 24 hours to do so.

The thing which makes this even more bizarre is that if you have the shows in you’re watching saved to your watchlist and you go to the show page for a particular show. You can clearly see where you got to on a particular show and pickup right from where you left off. The system will even remember your progress. When a show is not added to your watchlist.

It’s as if continue watching and remembering progress somehow become detached from one another or are different parts of the Viki system that ran independently from one another. It seems that this problem may occur when these two parts of the system fail to sync with one another.

One other thing I have always found strange about to continue watching section is that when you finished watching all the episodes of a particular show the showing question isn’t automatically cleared from your continue watching list and you have to clear the list manually. This is the opposite of virtually any other service I have used. Most services will clear continue watching automatically when you have watched all the available episodes of a particular show and some will even place a show back into continue watching automatically when a new episode for a show appears.

Mine did and now it is back to not updating. Even when I am on the show page it is telling me wrong.

I can’t tell you anything, LOL I think I didn’t watch a thing here for a week or two?
Do you know what is worse, after last year, we decided spontaneously to give the kids treats if they come around for Halloween, I went grocery shopping and forgot to bring the sweets.
I just can’t believe it. I think that bug in my head is worse, I was there close to the shelves two times, but too many people, customers and the employees, who were filling up the shelves again. Then I went on with my list and just forgot about it …
And I still can’t believe it …

@vikicommunity, @jeslynl,
This is happening again, mines is at episode 26, but in reality, I’m at episode 31.There are 32 episodes in total, in The Sound of Providence. I’ve been ignoring the lack of update, but it’s been happening about two shows back.

I was watching Love Script and it took several days like 2 or 3 for it to show up in my continued watching section!!!

This time around, my progress isn’t even being saved within the episodes themselves. Last time the continue watching section wasn’t working, I could still go to the show page and then the episode list and find the one where I left off, but it is not keeping track of my progress at all.

You are again notifying Viki staff, you will not get any reaction here. Either look at the Viki Twitter Status or the Help Center, “we” have been “ghosted” here. A new word I learned, but I don’t even know if it is used like this in English, however it made its way into German.

There is news over there:
