Finally got back into sailing the high seas and, first thing i did after getting plex set up was get parks and rec since ive missed it so bad after it left netflix. Its great so far but occasionally it loses track of what ive watched and picks up in the middle of like 9 episodes back?

Then again I was also having the same problem sometimes with hulu....could this possibly be something to do with my roku itself?

Sometimes when you skip the credits or manually go to the next episode it doesn’t register it as watched. I figure it has something to do with the remaining time before you skip

I've just been letting it run while I watch TV. Then like I come back later and it starts back up a bunch of episodes back and when I go to look at my history it doesn't even show that the episodes had been watched.

Yeah, it can be flaky. Scan your episode lists and if anything is missing a Watched indicator that you know should be there, set it manually. I don't know the Roku GUI (every Plex GUI is kind of different) but either long-pressing the action button or using a button on the screen should let you set an ep to Watched.
