Improvements to native items playback with VirtualTV and Pseudo TV

@LukeThe new way that you've developed for playing library items from VirtualTV as a live tv source is really great, but it's missing some features:

  1. The playback should auto advance to the next program in every available Emby app.
  2. There should be a way to start the current program from its live position instead of from the beginning.
    Ideally, the decision whether the program playback starts from the live position or from the beginning should not be a "static" channel setting in the plugin. Instead also the program itself should behave like a normal library item. That means that the program info dialog that we get from the EPG before playback and also the context menu should display a "Resume" and "Play From Beginning" button. Where "Resume" would start the program/library item from the live position and "Play From Beginning" from the start of course.

The next updates to most Emby apps should do this, outside of Roku.

Why not including Roku? Will it ever be added to Roku?

Thanks

Yes, it just will have to be done separately as it is different.

Ah right, well I hope it's not going to take as long as the release of 4.8! 😆

Thanks
