Trakt + Nova Player on Sony Android TV = SOMETIME tracks wrong show

Hi,
I watch shows on Sony Bravia (Android TV) using Nova Video Player. I’ve connected Nova player to Trakt and 99% of the shows are tracked correctly. But sometimes an episode of Weeds is tracked (specifically it’s Weeds - Special 2 - Smokey Snippets episode). And I’ve never even watched Weeds, so there’s no reason to ever tracked that. And also this one specific episode is marked as watched when I watch episodes of several different shows and it happens repeteadly.

If I’m not mistaken it happened with episodes of Vicious, some RuPaul’s Drage Race Untucked episodes, it also happened with episodes of Outer Range show. Strange thing is that it tracks the very same Weeds episodes no matter which one episode of those mentioned shows I watched. So the 8th episode of Outer Range got tracked as Smokey Snippets of Weeds as well as 3rd episode in second season of Vicious etc.

The shows and episodes are correctly classified in the player library under the correct name of the show.
I disconnected and reconnected the player to Trakt, it didn’t help.

It’s been going on for months. I’m Trakt VIP user now, but it happened before and it still happens. Is there a way to investigate this behaviour? Can I do something to resolve this? It is a NOVA player mistake or Trakt mistake?

Thank you for your insight.

Hi @tomekson

Were you ever able to find a solution to this issue? I’m seeing the exact same behaviour using Nova Video Player v6.2.50 (20240111.0855) on an Amazon Firestick 4K. No matter what I watch it tracks Weeds - Special 2 - Smokey Snippets. It was working fine but this issue started at least a week ago.

I tried logging out, clearing data, uninstalling/reinstalling but no matter what I watch it still tracks the episode of Weeds.

Hey,
no, unfortunately no. It still happens from time to time.
There are like weeks or months even, when it does not happen and then there are like couple of days when it happens every other day.
There is no pattern I can see.

Very strange. Thanks for letting me know. At least I can stop trying to fix it.
