Can you simply delete from continue watching ?

Had a search on how to delete things from continue watching and the only answer i have come across is you have to go to the last episode and ff through, is that correct, is that really the only way ?

We have been raising this issue for months!

 

Will there be an update in future releases to undertake the most simple of tasks we have not been informed.

 

We are still waiting on the bug fix too outstanding since way before Christmas.

Oddly yes and sometimes you need do twice to get it to disappear had do twice a handful of times. Really annoying issue.

Re: Can you simply delete from continue watching ?

Probably been said before, but why can't they have a delete option as well as the continue & watch from the start ?

Perhaps the developers dont actually watch that much TV and therefore are not akin to the everyday user experience ?

Hope they fix this as well, as annoying that you cannot delete continue watching if you no longer watch

Depending on the App you are using there are so many different ways to remove programmes from the Continue Watching rail.  I made myself a list to help me remember in the future (I still refer to it frequently).

 

In the hope that it might help others I have recreated the list below:

 

Do on Glass TV:

Apple TV - select from Up Next list with a LONG press / remove

Netflix - Select from CW / remove from CW on next page

Sky, Discovery, ITVX & Disney - run programme to credits and allow to run to the end.  If a series do the same with the final episode of the series.  (It may take a while to disappear)

 

Do on laptop:

BBC iPlayer  - CW / Manage full list (on right of screen) / remove

All 4 - My4 / CW - go to My4 > / edit / select then remove

Prime Video & Paramount  - CW / edit (right of screen) / delete

 

I hope this helps. If you know any better ways to remove programmes please let me know

@Fothergill1  A better way would be for sky to give us a delete from continue watching button lol

@Deedee36 I couldn't agree more.  The problems relating to deleting from the CW rail is currently  my biggest complaint with this system and has been since I got Glass last July.  Most of the other glitches I have resolved or have decided I can live with them.

 

Look how simple it is with 🍏TV.  Alternatively a small check box next to each item in the CW rail with a button at the end to delete those checked.

Also a more reliable marker on what you've all ready watched would be good the current blue progress bar seems to disappear after a few days

We think alike @Deedee36 that is my other complaint, I have expressed my displeasure at both issues on the forum a number of times..  I am lead to believe (by this forum) that some of these issues might be subject of the next update.  I certainly hope so.

Another big issue for me was my 3 pucks and glass tv not syncing the continue watching rail meaning I could notcontinue watching where I left off on any device it would go to the start of the show,although this past few days I have noticed this has kind of been working although sometimes it can take 10 minute or 30 minutes to kick in,I would expect it be almost instant if you switched one device off to continue exactly where you left of on another,I'm also hoping this will be working properly in the next big update

@Deedee36 I only have Glass TV  and no pucks so I have not had the pleasure of this issue 🤣
