I see that if I remove the media progress altogether, it seems to be resolved. is the 'remove from continue listening' expected to persist?

I'm still learning this codebase, but maybe in :
static getFromOld(oldUser). seems to map the series remove from continue listening, but not the single book.

I am noticing a similar issue with podcasts.

When I try using "Remove from Continue Listening" it ends up re-populating after some point.

I haven't looked at the code for this but I'm assuming it's probably using the same code under the hood.

Is this still happening on the latest server release v2.4.2? I fixed some things around that.

Unfortunately I can't test this right now due to the OOM error #2075. Maybe @patrickrobbins would be able to confirm?

I'm still seeing this on v2.4.4

I have a couple of books which show up in 'Continue Listening' which I've finished. I can't remove them.
If I select 'Remove from Continue Listening', nothing seems to happen.

The only way I found to remove them is to reset my progress and then remove them. Then it seems to work.

Did you have any of the books which could not be marked as finished downloaded to your iOS device?

They are marked as finished, but cannot be removed from the 'continue listening' shelf. Yes, both of them were downloaded to an iOS device, although the versions on the mobile device somehow disconnected from the server versions (there was an error in the log indicating this).

I'm on 0.9.66 (23) which seems to be the latest. I've had them downloaded for a while so it's possible some earlier version caused some issues. I've deleted them from the phone, but they still can't be removed from the continue listening shelf.

@c-hri-s, Are you seeing these books listed in the continue listening shelf both on the web app and on the phone app?

Have you tried marking them as finished on both?

They're both marked as completed and show with a green line under them.

I'm not sure how to mark as completed on the iOS app, it doesn't come up as an option, just 'discard progress', 'add to playlist', 'open rss feed' and 'more info'

You should see an option to mark the book as complete under the kebab menu (three dots, next to the play/stream button).

This is a screenshot of a book I have currently downloaded and it's options:

The books under the "Listen Again" Shelf have only the options that you've mentioned.

Yes, both of them were downloaded to an iOS device, although the versions on the mobile device somehow disconnected from the server versions (there was an error in the log indicating this).

Can you share this error? I'm wondering if it has something to do with the de-sync between the server and local versions.

If I select 'Remove from Continue Listening', nothing seems to happen.

If you are willing to run a few SQL commands on your database (absdatabase.sqlite), can you also check if the books in question are listed in the output?

SELECT mediaProgresses.mediaItemId, books.title, mediaProgresses.isFinished, mediaProgresses.hideFromContinueListening, mediaProgresses.finishedAt FROM mediaProgresses JOIN books ON mediaProgresses.mediaItemId==books.id WHERE mediaItemType=='book' AND mediaProgresses.hideFromContinueListening=='1';

I don't get the option to mark it as finished, perhaps because it's already marked as such?

Neither of the two books which refuse to vanish are shown in the SQL output:

Thanks for sharing the screenshots, I'm thinking the same thing, but then of course, the question is why is it still showing under continue listening shelf.

Do you think you can run this sql as well?

SELECT mediaProgresses.mediaItemId, mediaProgresses.Id, books.title, mediaProgresses.isFinished, mediaProgresses.hideFromContinueListening, mediaProgresses.finishedAt FROM mediaProgresses JOIN books ON mediaProgresses.mediaItemId==books.id WHERE mediaItemType=='book' AND mediaProgresses.isFinished=='1' ORDER BY books.title ASC;

We should at least see the books listed in here and we should be able to see the values for both the local and server records. Hopefully we can see if de-sync has anything to do with it.

I haven't dug into the code for this yet, but want to check current db values first and work backwards from there.

Edit:

They are marked as finished, but cannot be removed from the 'continue listening' shelf. Yes, both of them were downloaded to an iOS device, although the versions on the mobile device somehow disconnected from the server versions (there was an error in the log indicating this).

Can you also share this error from the log? And did you see any other error about Adding/Removing from the continue listening?

Here's the part of the logs where I was playing my downloaded copy of the book and it had somehow become disassociated with the server copy. I've since deleted it from the phone.

@jrhedman commented on GitHub (Oct 28, 2023):

Okay so they're both showing that they are marked as finished and have finished at dates so it seems within the database it is correct.

I think we need to look into what Audiobookshelf uses to populate the Continue Listening shelf with. I know @advplyr mentioned some some change in v2.4.2 but I'm not seeing what change he made on this (unless I'm missing it).

Have you tried restarting the server since you had this problem? I'm wondering if there's some caching going on where instead of pulling from the DB, it's pulling from elsewhere.

I don't have much time to check on it today unfortunately.

No rush, it's not a real problem .. just an annoyance that they're sort of stuck there.

I think it's possible if I reset the listening history and then tried to remove them they might vanish (worked for another), but I'm happy to leave them there for a while if it helps to squash the bug.

Tried a server restart and they're still showing in the Continue Listening shelf

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Oct 28, 2023):

I'm not sure what is going on here but if the book gets unlinked from the server then it needs to be removed and downloaded again. I am aware of an iOS bug that resets your progress when you download.

Books can be unlinked from the server if the book had to be scanned in as new again.

Also, the server URL you are using must be the same one you downloaded from. For example, if you download on a local ip address http://192.168.1.1 then you start using a domain https://abs.domain.com it won't sync. I don't think that is your issue though. Your issue is the ID of the book you downloaded no longer matches an ID of a book on the server.

There is a bug here somewhere from what you are describing but I'm not sure where to look.

That could well be it @advplyr - I downloaded them a while ago.
I've since deleted them from the phone, so it's no longer an issue.

My only problem now is the couple of books which seem stuck to the 'continue listening' shelf despite them being marked as finished, and me having selected to hide them from that shelf

I'm thinking you may have come across a bug when your downloaded copy of the book with the old id was syncing with the server and it created an extra media progress record.

My guess is you have 2 media progress rows in the database for the same media item id. This is the only thing I can think of that would explain all this.

If you can open up the sqlite db and check if you have 2 rows with the same mediaItemId
The media item ids you shared above are
48f81839-f1e7-4c1d-ab09-c92318488d1a
and
