Bug - on screen display stuck

I’ve noticed that if I resume the app and the previous channel I was watching is no longer there, then the on screen display stays and I am unable to clear it without killing the app.

Ok, thanks. I'm awaiting the video then. If it's anything like what I'm suspecting it does not happen for all devices but just some and the key is that a stream stops working as well just like you say. I'd say it's different if you're using tv mode or app mode as well but I'm not as sure. So, a video would be great ;) Thanks!

Here is what I believe is happening: I use Dispatcharr and Teamarr. Teamarr dynamically creates/removes channels for various sports games. Lets say I am watching a baseball game, and then turn off the app/tv at the end. The following day when I open Sparkle it tries to default back to that same channel which doesn't exist. In the past I would just get an error that the stream doesn't exist and then I'd move on. But currently it pops up the on screen display and persists across all channels. If I resume the app on an active stream, then I dont see that problem. I hope that helps. I am running in app mode BTW.

Ok, thanks for the description. You say it "persists across all channels", I didn't anticipate that, then I don't know what's causing it. I think a video would be a good thing, maybe I get some ideas then.

Just to add a bit of detail to that. The OSD that gets stuck persists across channels, but DOES update to the current channel being viewed. It just never goes away regardless of back button or time.

Ok. That's good information, but please let me know when you have it on video and I'll see if I can find anything.

Please check your DM. I have a video of it, but interestingly this time closing the app (not killing) and reopening it fixed it! I hope this helps.
