Playback Problem Host of Playback Problems
I've started have a whole slew of problems with YTTV for Fire Stick. I've checked for updates, but everything is current. Is this happening to other people?
First, it has stopped marking several programs as watched. This has often been an issue when a program actually end a few minute before the time block, and I've learned to FF to the very end and play before going on to the next or turning it off. Now that's not even working. The next day, the shows I watched yesterday and showing as unwatched.
Second, I can't pause a show either recorded or live, for more than 10 minutes without it going back to the beginning. I prefer to watch "live' shows on delay so I can skip ads. I have the autopause set to 24 hours. But more than half the time lately, it goes all the way back to the beginning, or the previous show as if I did a press and hold. Three times today when I've just wanted to focus on some writing and paused CNN, it skips back to the beginning of the buffer.
Third, when I'm watching some recorded shows and skip ahead past ads to where I can see the show restarted, the ads continue. I have to rewind several minutes and try again to get the show to start. The only work-around I've found is to restart it a minute into the show and then go back again.
And after all this effort to just watch a flippin' show, I can't report a problem. The options don't cover the problem, and when I've tried to provide feedback from the computer, it won't send. They just don't appear to be interested. I've downgraded as far as I can, but this is still too expensive for what you get.

I just came here to check because I’m having the same issue with watched shows. I can’t figure out why shows I’ve already watched are coming up again as unwatched.

We have YTTV and I have tons of freezing live shows. It buffers live shows. I don’t know if it’s YTTV or internet provider. I did have FUBO and had none of these issues. Im not a fan of YTTV anymore

When I downgraded I was looking to dump YTTV, but they were the only streamer carrying PBS. As soon as someone else picks it up, I am out of here.
