Can't learn from VHS after death. (MP)

[Twitch xk90]

I got my cooking up by reading books then watching the first 4 cooking VHS's. Unfortently I died so all my stats reset as I made a new character. Time to relearn cooking. But when I watch the VHS's, I learn nothing. and in the list of what I've watched, those videos tapes are already highlighted??? I do not recall having this issue before today.

Am I alone in this? Is there a fix?

I think they tried to fix a bug where you could logout and login again, and then watch the tapes again and learn from the same tape multiple times.

Maybe it broke this "feature" ?

No Im experiencing this too. Watched VHS tapes, Died, Made new char. New Char still has the VHS tapes as "watched"

Here too. Now not even a new character from a player that never played Zomboid before 41.66 can get XP from VHS. Needs to be fixed ASAP.

I have found a solution, but it is not an elegant one.

Navigate to: C:\Users\[user]\Zomboid\Saves\Multiplayer\<<SOME JUMBLE OF NUMBERS AND LETTERS>>

Find the recorded_media.bin file and delete it. You're done, enjoy fresh VHSs. You'll have to do this every time you die though.

Didn't work for the new character from player that never played zomboid before build 41.66.

Figured this out. But it seems thats not the only problem with VHS's since the update. Apparently some VHS's just arnt giving XP, I did this, and tried cooking. Nothing. Didnt even mark the tape as watched.

Still doesnt work. Hope they'll fix this soon as it seems pretty casual stuff to fix.

Just deleted the recorded_media.bin on the servertest folder and on the JUMBLE NUMBERS folder and it seems that the problem is that the tapes been modified. For one character the tapes are Carzone 1, Carzone 3, etc... and for other player is Mothballs vs... some random VHS tape. It seems that the coding is buggish or something like that since build 41.66 was on.

It also happened to me, when you die, all videos you watch are marked, however you stop learning.
