Chromecast continue watching will not clear using "hide" feature

SarahEquality — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 10:04:04 GMT

I was pleased to see that Chromecast added a feature to clear out the continue watching area as that has always seemed to fill up with things even though I have watched through. However, the "hide" feature does not work. The program in question just pops right back up a second after I hide it. I have tried clearing the cache. I have tried restarting the Chromecast device. I have tried hiding or removing the program from the actual app's history. None of that works. I don't understand how this is still a glitch when each individual app can delete a program from the viewing history. Is there a solution to this? All similar questions seem to get locked after they are told to just long press and hide, but that doesn't work, so what now?

Hi folks,

Thanks for posting and sorry for the late response.

To confirm, are you trying to hide the program on a specific app or you're trying to hide the app itself? Are you pertaining to the "Apps only mode" feature?

I'll look forward to your response.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Neither. The main for you page of the Chromecast home screen has a "continue watching" area. If you long press the tv show/movie, there is a "hide" option, only it hides nothing. The program sometimes remains there in the continue watching queue and sometimes disappears briefly, but reappears again. There's no way to truly clear out the continue watching queue. I personally have tried also clearing the programs from the queues in each individual app as well, but it still continues to show in the main Chromecast list.

Hey there,

I apologize about the late response on this thread, thank you for being patient! I was personally able to re-create this issue, so it may be an issue with Google TV UI. If your Chromecast's firmware is up-to-date, please submit feedback via Google TV to let the Google Engineering team know about this interaction. While they won't respond directly back to you, this is the best way to let them know about issues. The more feedback they receive, the higher priority the issue becomes.

I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know.

Best regards,
Jeran

Hey there DanDan1,

No problem at all! Thank you for doing that, every bit of feedback that Google receives helps them narrow down, prioritize, and resolve issues. I'll keep this thread open a bit longer and follow-up with the others to see if anyone has any more questions.

Thank you again for your help on this!

Best regards,
