Dropping a show not working

I tried dropping the show Jag. I tried dropping it from my Progress page as well as from the show’s page. Request to the “ignore-url” returns a 201, but when I refresh the page, it keeps returning. It also doesn’t appear on the list of “hidden” items in my settings when looking at “Shows: Dropped”.

I tried dropping a different show, and that seems to work. So it’s either this specific show or something to do with my relation to it. I’ve only watched 2 episodes, of the 8th season. Maybe this is related to the issue?

I’m hoping someone recognizes this and maybe even has a solution.

Hmm, I’ve tried adding 2 episodes of that show to my history and dropping it on my account. It worked normally (trying to reproduce your issue on my end).

Try going to your settings and reset your progress data:

Then wait a few minutes and try again.

I tried this and there was no change in behavior. I even restored some dropped shows and dropped them again. They stayed hidden, though Jag keeps coming back.

Here you can see my progress

We have informed the developers about this and they will take a look.

I have the same 2 episodes watched :laughing:

This dropping feature is nice but I don’t remember when I “dropped” this show. I’m not even sure if I actually watched it. It is a tie-in with NCIS but were they really JAG episodes? Maybe they are duplicated with the two NCIS episodes?

The episodes were added as specials of nice before. But they are JAG episodes.

Those two JAG episodes served as a backdoor pilot to NCIS. Ive reported it over on tmdb and trakt in the past.

Just like NCIS S06E23&23 Legend serves as a backdoor pilot to NCIS: LA.

Thanks for the explanation. The problem that it can’t be dropped, is not solved however.

Any news on this from the developers?

Not yet.
Since those 2 episodes used to be from NCIS and we merged them with that show, maybe it was something with that merge.
Can you please try to unmark them as watched and manually mark them again (on the same dates you had them marked before)? Just to test if doing that allows you to drop it normally.

That seemed to do the trick!

Luckilly for me there were only two episodes. Wouldn’t want to “rewrite history” for a large set of episodes just to be able to drop a show.
