Originally created by @sn0opy on GitHub (Apr 30, 2024).

Describe the issue

I listened to a podcast episode (I think via ShelfPlayer) which is now marked marked with a green progress bar (meaning 100%). Said episode is now stuck in "Continue listening" on the home page. Even if I hit the "Remove from continue listening" it will reappear after refreshing the page.

The "Incomplete" view on the podcast's page does not show thje episode anymore.

Previously I had to delete the episode to get rid of it.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Hard to reproduce for me. Happens randomly. Had this issue with different podcasts and podcast episodes.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.9.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

Try "remove progress" then "mark as finished".

May also want to bring that up in the ShelfPlayer repo.

Marking it as unfinished and finished again doesn't fix the problem. Neither via ShelfPlayer nor the ABS interface

Can you remove progress twice before marking as finished? This is usually caused by a duplicate listening sessions being created (one finished and one not)

How do you actually mark it as unfinished again once it was marked unfinished already?

I'm having the same problem with AudiobookShelf on iOS. I listen to a podcast till the end. When I get back in the app it's still in the "Continue Listening" section at 99%...

Looks like the last minute is never marked as played.

That's a different issue. Unless you mark it as finished and it remains in continue listening.
I think there is another issue open for what you shared

For this issue someone shared their sqlite database with me and I could see that 2 duplicate media progress records were created in the db at the same time which suggests a race condition. I'm not sure how that is possible but we can put in some safeguards around that.
I also think there is a duplicate open for this issue somewhere, might be in the audiobookshelf-app repo

As a side note that user was also using a 3rd party app

I have this issue with an audiobook. I use ShelfPlayer. I cannot get this audiobook out of the continue listening no matter what I do. Is there anything I can run to fix this, if it is a duplicate media progress record?

In the web client go to the book and press the small X on the current progress to remove it. Refresh the page and see if it shows another progress and remove that.

This is how I fixed it in my ABS setup, purely by accident how I figured it out. Was very frustrating until then. Thankfully with the other audiobooks that get "stuck" like this with duplicate records it has always fixed it by doing this. Now if only we could figure out why duplicate records are being made so it doesn't randomly do this anymore.

This was the solution for me. Had a book that had 4 different listening sessions. Also using ShelfPlayer so definitely related to that.

This is the same as #3845 and the reason for it is explained there. Race condition
