Android TV cannot add/remove shows from library or mark episodes watched/unwatched unless already in library

Stremio Platform

Android TV

Describe the bug

I’m using Stremio on macOS and Android TV. The problem depends on whether a show is already in the library.

Environment:
• macOS app (works as expected)
• Android TV app (issue occurs)

Additional notes:
This behavior seems tied to the library sync. Once a show is in the library (added from macOS), Android TV can then mark episodes watched normally.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce:
1. On Android TV, try to add a show to the library or remove it.
2. Also try to mark episodes as watched/unwatched for shows that are not currently in the library.

Expected behavior

Expected behavior:
• Android TV should be able to add/remove shows from the library.
• It should also be able to mark episodes watched/unwatched regardless of library status.

Actual behavior:
• On Android TV, I cannot add or remove shows from the library.
• I cannot mark episodes as watched/unwatched unless the show is already in the library.
• The only workaround is to use my Mac laptop to add/remove the show in the library. After that, Android TV can mark episodes as watched.

i can add and remove shows to/from library and mark episodes as watched without any issues. You should try to relog and if this does not help provide more details what exactly you have tried to mark

Hi @TRtomasz it seems to affect only the show "Breaking Bad" for now. Somehow Stremio has 2 different versions with different covers in the "continue watching" section, but both versions of it definitely fall back to the same show. Can't post screenshots right now, but this seems to be the root cause.
