I'm unable to clear a Netflix show from the Continue Watching line on my Roku Ultra home screen. I've tried to use the asterisk button on the remote, but when I click on the "remove" option it doesn't do anything. I've tried a system reset, I've gone into Netflix and removed it from the Continue Watching section there. Nothing I've tried has fixed this. It appears on two TV's, both Roku Ultra's. Even the option to turn this line off would be useful. Any help would be appreciated.
A big Search box AND a Continue Watching line showed up when I decided to change my screen saver. I don't want either of these "features." And like you, the asterisk/options to remove shows from the list doesn't work. If I want to continue watching something, I'll open that app. I don't want/need Roku to "think" for me. I'm using two Roku sticks. If I'd realized what caused the problem on the one, I wouldn't have changed the other.
If you are not inside the Roku Channel, there may be a different way with different channels. Please be advised that some publishers control what constitutes content completion (for example, end credits are shown). The arrangement has been completed; the channel makes a delete request to remove the content from the Continue Watching row.
I'm referring to the base home screen that you're taken to to select apps or channels from. It's not within any app or channel. The shows that appear in the list are based on other apps (Disney, Netflix, etc) and can't be removed via the asterisk remove function.
Simply having the option to turn this function off would be ideal. I don't need or want the function, it's just another place that I have to pay attention to in order to keep the kids from getting at more mature content that they shouldn't be.
The Home Screen on both of my Roku Sticks now has a large Search Box AND a Continue Watching list - and I don't want either of them. All I did was change my screensaver, and voila, two new "features" on the Home Screen that I don't have control over.
The "Continue Watching" feature on the Roku home screen is part of the Roku Operating System; thus, removing it is impossible. Please be advised that some publishers control what constitutes content completion (for example, end credits are shown). Once the arrangement has been completed, the channel makes a delete request to remove the content from the Continue Watching row.
All Hail King Julien was the most recent DreamWorks animated series that got removed from Netflix for the same reason, and Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh and Voltron: Legendary Defenders are next on the list to leave the platform in 2024. These shows will continue to exist as re-runs on the Universal Kids television channel but do not currently have another streaming home.
In the mood for a good raunchy comedy? Both Anchorman movies, Role Models, Get Him to the Greek, and Friends with Benefits are some fan-favorite comedic choices leaving Netflix at the end of December 2023. Taylor Swift reputation Stadium Tour is also about to be removed from the streaming service and should be queued up one more time by fans who gushed over The Eras Tour film in theaters.
As 2021 begins, some of the classic shows and movies are being taken off Netflix. While there are many shows and movies being removed from the platform, some of the more popular ones such as The Office, The Notebook, and Gossip Girl are going to be greatly missed. They are going to be transferred to other platforms, for example, Hulu.
It is not certain where this movie will be available for streaming after it leaves Netflix, although it will likely be available on Disney Plus as other Marvel movies have gone there after leaving Netflix.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is another classic being removed. The movie is about the Grinch who despises Christmas and the season. The joy and excitement from the Whos in Whoville have always been irritating to the Grinch. The season reminds him of his scaring childhood. He has a change of heart when he runs into Cindy Lou Who who reminds him of true happiness and the Grinch has a change of heart.
Gossip Girl is a TV show being taken off. It is about the life of high schoolers on the upper east side of New York City who has lives submerged in drama. An anonymous website blasts gossip about the students to the world making scandals public.
The Office is a mockumentary about the lives of the co-workers at the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. The sitcom is the U.S. adaptation of the British show, although it was more successful than the British show. Jim, Pam, Michael, and Dwight are the main characters. The show follows their lives as well as the lives of everyone else they work with. It is getting removed from Netflix on December 31st and can be found on Peacock after that.
Netflix has confirmed the removal of several movies and shows from its platform before we ring in 2024. Among the list are classic movies and thrilling TV shows, as well as several original projects.
While disappointing for subscribers, this is pretty common for the streamer as licenses run their course on popular movies and shows. However, more surprisingly, several projects that are billed as Netflix Originals will also be leaving.
While these are just the films and shows that Netflix US is removing, The Independent has compiled a more comprehensive list of what is being removed from UK Netflix too. This features shows like The Hymn of Death, Call The Midwife, The Guest, and Knightfall. On the film side of things, Pan's Labyrinth, There Will Be Blood, Inkheart, and Armed and Deadly will all be leaving later in December.
@Daddymae Removing unwanted programmes from the Continue Watching rail is my biggest complaint with Glass / Stream. There are different ways to remove items depending on what you are trying to remove. Some need to be done on your laptop and others on Sky stream. Some just don't seem to removable and /or keep reappearing every time a new episode records (Ch4 is very bad for this).
I never look at continue watching as it contains so much junk that I have watched for a few minutes and abandoned, unfortunately Sky also uses this info for recommendations so if you look at junk you get recommendations for more junk.
Is nobody from Sky going to provide an update as to when this issue will be resolved and there is a proper way of managing the CW list? Its evident from the postings and questions on the Internet that this is actually something that Sky Stream customers want and need (without fast forwarding through an entire season, particularly when this doesn't always work)
Generally you don't need to run through every episode in a series just the episode you are watching and then the last episode of the series. Mind you I have on occasions had to run through each episode
I still find it very disappointing that Sky don't listen to their customers and don't see optimising customer experience as a priority and don't realise that 'smnall things matter' when customers have a choice.
The continue watching issues have been raised numerous times by superusers .... I believe it's quite a complicated function as it's drawing meta data not just from sky servers but also the plethora of other catchup services.
If its because its linked to the other apps, e.g iPlayer, surely if I removed it from CW on the parent (iplayer) it wouldn't appear in my Sky Stream CW list. Surely there is easier functionality that could be added to the Sky User Interface, like Netflix, iPlayer etc that will allow the user to hide or remove? (After all its just a link)
The removing it from your iplayer continue watching can get a bit more complicated as the continue watching rail on the sky UI seeming covers shows you have watched from the sky device so if you went and watched episode one of a new show on iplayer via a phone or tablet it wouldn't be recognised on the sky continue watching rail.
I would certainly think sky could offer a hide functionality on their UI for shows on the continue watching rail and that is metadata being used purely for the Sky UI. Some sort of simple flagging mechanism could be used for it to k ow
@Dords even with my how to do it list it can still be hit and miss. The only saving grace is if you leave them long enough they will eventually drop off the end of the CW rail. The whole process is very frustrating.
I've yet to figure out how or why, but i've actually had 1 ITV X show, disappear from my CW rail, despite the fact i haven't done the trick of playing the current and last episode to make it disappear.
@MarkGoldsmith totally agree, however had some success, and it took many times and some luck to get it to work. It seems to work if you fast forward on the last episode until just after the last adverts and then let it run until the end (remembering to catch it before it automatically starts playing another TV show). Sometimes it works if you fast forward 5 mins after the last episode and sometimes 10 mins.
Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer and a number of big streamers have removed various episodes (and sometimes whole series) of shows deemed to be racially problematic, from Scrubs and 30 Rock to Little Britain and The League of Gentleman.
Fey explained the decision to pull the episodes in a statement, apologising for the pain they had caused some viewers. \"As we strive to do the work and do better in regards to race in America, we believe that these episodes featuring actors in race-changing makeup are best taken out of circulation.\"
First airing in October 1975, the episode titled The Germans was best known for the scene in which Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) proclaims, \"Don't mention the war!\" whilst goose-stepping throughout his hotel.
