AKSkinz 9 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I'm in the process of moving to new hardware as my old box is on its last legs. I'm running the latest release (Version 4.7.14.0) for Windows on both Win10 machines and accessing them from a Nvidia Shield device (also tried an Onn.tv box). While connected to my old setup, when I go to start to watch the news after it started recording for 15 minutes and it will display "Play from beginning" when I bring it up in the guide to play it. But when I change to my new setup it doesn't display that option, it's just missing. Is there a certain setting on the server that will allow this? Or is it controlled via the Android TV app although I would think the settings would be the same and they seemed to be when I reviewed them. The pic above isn't a pic from today as I didn't have a chance to grab one when it happened. It is just strange that it works on the old one but not the new.

Luke 37068 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Hi, can you show a screenshot of what you do see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSkinz 9 Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 It's the same as the one above minus the button to play from beginning. Here's what is currently recording but no Play fro button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSkinz 9 Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 There are 3 shows currently recording and they all are missing the button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSkinz 9 Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 @LukeCan you tell me what causes play from beginning to be displayed? 2 recordings running now. I have an episode of the news with it displayed: but another recording (20/20) doesn't show it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37068 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Hi, that's strange. How does the web app compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKSkinz 9 Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Can you answer the question of what causes the app to display the play from beginning prompt? I'm noticing that it may be channel specific as it seems anything on channel 5 doesn't display it but channel 7 does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The existence of the recording as an item in your actual library. If the app can find it, it allows you to play that file instead of just opening the live stream.

AKSkinz 9 Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Well, that doesn't make any sense as it's recording them both at the same time and they both exist in the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Do they both show on your home screen under "Active Recordings"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSkinz 9 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 I don't have 2 recordings at the moment but will grab screenshots the next time it happens. I had 4 recording going yesterday afternoon and the "Play from" button was missing on 1 of the 4. They were all displayed as active on the home screen.

Grimmer 2 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I have also noticed that the play from beginning button is missing (seemingly randomly) on mine as well. Playing movies through the web app and also playing through the Roku app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmer 2 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 This is where it is missing: vs. when it is present: In the process of searching for examples, I think I figured out what is making it appear vs disappear (for me at least). When the width of the window is too small, the "Play From Beginning" button is off-loaded to the three dot menu. I tried to play from chapter 1 as a workaround, but most of the time it would just resume even though I clicked on "chapter 1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37068 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 HI, yes that is correct. At lower resolutions you have to access it from the 3-dot menu. Those buttons can look rather ugly if they have to wrap to a second line, so it's trying to avoid that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
