I created Emby server in Docker in my Synology NAS. I create several playlists by "Smart Playlist" plugin of Emby. I played and shuffle the playlist. When use Android TV, Web browser, and iPhone app, the movies shuffled and played will showed in Continue Watch. The progress/status of movies is also normal. 

However, the progress of movies can't be saved when I use Apple TV 4K 3rd generation. If I directly choose the movie and play it, the progress of movie is normal. But the progress of movie can't be saved when I played via the playlists. The only difference is the platform(tvOS in Apple TV 4K), so I think the app(Emby for TV) would be the problem.

Besides, if played a movie through Web browser till 01:00, then I play the same movie by Apple TV via the playlist from 01:00 to 01:20. The progress of the movie remain 01:00 without change.

In this sample, I create a smart playlist by artist including Harrison Ford. I played via this playlist initially and fast forward to about 20:00. Then I exited the movie and back to front page. The movie was not showed in Continue Watch. There is not any progress in this movie.

Then I tried to play via collection and again fast forward to about 20:00. The progress is normally saved after I exited the movie.

@Jakiesunwhat if you create a normal playlist, not a smart one. How does that compare?

I created a manual playlist which called "manual" and I added 3 movies to it.

First, I played 1st movie directly and the progress can be saved to about 04:38. But it didn't appeared in Continue Watch. 

Second, I shuffled the playlist and then moved from 04:40 to about 08:34. But it still stayed at 04:40 without any progress.

I thought the problem maybe the shuffle function in TvOS on Apple TV 4K 3rd generation, instead of Smart playlist.

The original progress of the movie is 04m40s. I played the same movie by shuffle the playlist to 08m34s. Then I found the progress of the movie stayed at 04m40s. There is not any progress. That means there is problem when shuffle the playlist to play movie.

Do you have the Cinema Intros feature enabled? Maybe that's causing it.
