Deleting a recording does nothing the first time

Channels Android TV
#1

I have seen on multiple of my Android devices that it seems like I need to delete a recording twice before it is actually removed from my library. I will start playing back a recording, then delete it, but nothing appears to update on the screen. I can then go to Up Next and start playing back the recording again and see that it is still the same recording from before. Then when I delete it a second time, it disappears from my library.

Is this a known issue with Android clients or am I possibly doing something wrong?

I see the same thing on my Apple TVs.It sometimes takes several tries to delete a show from the recent recording menu. I delete it and then it pops back up. Sometimes, it takes several tires.

Any comments on this from the devs?

What I have noticed is that if I navigate away from my library, then back to it, the deleted program will be gone. But if I simply delete a program and wait, the screen won't update and it still appears in my library. If I then delete it a second time, it will disappear. It seems to be an issue of the library screen not refreshing after the first delete attempt.

Are you deleting from up next?

I'm using a Shield Pro running the latest beta of the Android Channels app. I click on TVShows and display an alphabetical list of my recordings. I click into a recording; delete the recording then back out to the listing screen. The show(s) I just deleted are still in the listing. I click back into the show and it is indeed deleted. I back out to the listing screen, again, and the listing is still there. The only way to clear it from the listing screen is to exit the Channels App back to the Shield Home Screen then re-enter the Channels app.

This started a couple updates ago. It has happened before but is usually fixed in the next update. Not this time, it is persisting.
