[SOLVED] Continue Watching not updating on Viki app

I noticed that recently my "Continue Watching" queue doesn't update. This is a problem at every devices on my account (web, tv app, phone app). I've tried closing the app and reboot but doesn't seem to help. There's no watch history either so it sometimes hard to know where you left off if you're watching multiple shows. 

Does anyone else had this problem before and know how to fix it?

  • Hi everyone,

    Our engineers have made more updates to assist with this 'Continue Watching' issue.

    If you are still facing the same problems, please try these first:

    • Log out, reinstall the Viki app, and log back into your account.
    • Check that your profile/settings page indicates the same account username across all your devices.
    • If you are watching on our website Viki.com, please check that you have Adblock disabled or whitelisted for Viki. Restart your browser before trying again.
    • If you are using the Viki Android app, check that you are updated to version 6.16.2 (If you do not see this version yet, please wait 1-2 days).

    Do kindly note that Continue Watching/Watch Markers usually take within 15-30 mins before it is updated. Dramas/movies must have also been played for at least one minute.  

    Otherwise, if the issue persists, please write back in the below format so our team can identify the issue for you:

    1. Your Viki username
    2. The show+episode that you have last watched and is not updating on your Continue Watching
    3. The date & time of that last watched activity and when you checked your Continue Watching
    4. If you have other devices, do you see the same watched activity missing?

    Thank you,
    Michelle

  • Hi, it started to record currently watching but now it have erased all my currently watching so I have none.
    If I use firefox thats is.
    If I use opera I have my currently watched and it records but please make it work on firefox too.
    If I open a show (on firefox) I can see where I was but I can't see any shows on currently watching.

  • For me the continue watching thing has disappeared completely also two weeks ago on all my devices (computer, phone, tablet and smart tv). Of course i did all the suggested things, still not appearing. Quite annoying, because it started once I started my subscription ....

    Your Viki username: laura_labas_639
    The show+episode that you have last watched and is not updating on your Continue Watching - Youth of May Ep 3 and 4
    The date & time of that last watched activity - Monday 25/10/21 at around 16:00 Berlin Standard Time
    If you have other devices, do you see the same watched activity missing? - Yes, the option is completely gone on all my devices. Smart TV, tablet, phone etc.

  • Michelle - lots of new complaints. Where are the engineers? Why is this a problem that doesn’t seem to occur with other streaming services?

  • Hi all,

    There's a temporary issue with Continue Watching and watch markers updating. Our team is working on resolving it as soon as possible, so it should clear up within a day or so. 

    We appreciate your understanding during this period once again!

    Thank you,
    Michelle

  • This has been happening for me too for the last couple of weeks. Mostly watching in browser and nothing gets saved there. Also not syncing with other devices. When I watch on my iPad it gets saved on my iPad though. Tried clearing the cache and cookies. Also relogged. Doesn't work.

    1. Your Viki username: itsyourgirl_216
    2. The Now we are breaking up Episode 8.  there is no continuing wash bar and it hasn't been there form months. Tried the steps in the top of this post recommended by support and it did not work. i cleared all my cookies and cache.
    3. The date & time of that last watched activity: December 6th 2021 at 12:00am 
    4. If you have other devices, do you see the same watched activity missing? yes, continue watching does not exist on the viki app on my iphone. i am not able to access continue watching either on her, even though i followed the recommended fix it steps. i do not have ad blocker on my phone so that shouldn't be an issue in the app. Please resolve. thank you!

  • Gale61095_160 Continue Watching is no longer updating for She Was Pretty, Jirisan, I Hear Your Voice, & Welcome to Waikiki on 2 Roku devices and an iPad. It is weird that your fixes only work well for a month or 2.

  • Having a permanent, undated banner declaring that you are working on the problem is not informative or helpful. Luckily the Watchlist does know where I’ve left off but that’s extra work too. Please date your banner and provide updates on fixes.

  • I have done everything suggested, but “continue watching” is not working with Roku. It stopped suddenly weeks ago and deleting/reinstalling has done nothing. If I watch a show on my phone app, Chromebook app, or laptop, it will eventually reset on at least one of my Roku devices. But I have to do that between every episode.

  • Having some issues once again with none of my shows updating on continue watching on any of my devices. On and off, this has been occurring for me within the past few months and at most a whole year to keep complaining and waiting when this should've been resolved already. It makes me keep thinking that I should cancel my subscription.

  • I have the same issue on the app as well as on the web version. It does set a view marker sometimes but most of the times those are completely random and not were I left.
