Wrong Episode Plays

I have season passes for several news shows. Lately, when I try to play the latest edition, it will instead play an older episode.

Normally I access it from the Recordings menu. But even if I go to TV Shows menu and select the specific latest episode, it instead plays the older one. If I delete the older one, telling the latest one to play DOES work correctly.

The issue only occurs on season passes where I have an older episode saved obviously. So KOCO News at 5PM might work. But KOCO News at 10PM (separate season pass) won’t work because I have an older episode saved. I have had Channels for over a year now if that is a factor.

Channels 5.8.2

I have changed the play order from the default so that when I watch 10 seasons of an old show, it starts at beginning and moves forward in time. Idk if that could be a factor.

Edit - The problem goes away if I change Settings -> Library -> Airing Order back to default (newest first).

Edit Edit - It sometimes works w/ default setting. So not sure if it had any effect.

Did you figure this one out yet? Or should I post more details?

I am able to play the current episode if I:
1 go to TV Shows
2 select and play the older episode
3 FF to the end and wait for it to to completely end
4 The new episode will now play as normal

I am able to bring the problem back by replaying the older episode and stopping it in the middle.

We will need more details about how and where you're hitting play. A video of the problem would also help.

Definitely changing to the default Airing Order fixes this issue. This setting is not getting implemented properly. For example, it should not affect anything when you try to play a specific episode - especially from the Recent Recordings menu.
