caradoc 0 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Emby for MacOS v. 4.4.2.0, Emby for tvOS v. 1.4.9 (0) Open a playlist. Select a movie. Screen flickers to white and immediately starts playing the movie where it left off before - we used to get a screen that gave us the option to start from the beginning, or resume play. This holds true across multiple users on tvOS, but iOS clients and web clients get the appropriate screen to choose starting from the beginning or resuming play.

ebr 14913 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Perhaps a new behavior in tvOS14. Is this only when playing from a playlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're also seeing the "backdrop" image being used in the tvOS "home" screen for "Next Up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc 0 Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Confirmed. Any users other than the admin have that behavior (can't choose to play from beginning, get dumped directly into movie at last played mark) when choosing from a playlist, but not if they select the movie directly from the Media/Movies screen.

caradoc 0 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 This may need to be moved to Mac OS Server - the behavior is the same on the web client in that selecting a movie from a playlist immediately starts playback from the last-played position. Additional note: trying to select "Settings" at the top of the Emby home screen sometimes gets a duplicated "Search" tab instead of "Settings." Pressing "Back" and reselecting works.

I don't think this is specific to platform. I believe that is by design. It respects a resume point if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc 0 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 If so, the behavior has changed significantly. We used to be able to select a movie from the playlist and get the option of "start from beginning," or "continue watching." Given that the primary user for this is an autistic girl, that change in behavior is... problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was being done by the actual Apple TV player and, I think, I remember them changing that behavior in the OS a while back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc 0 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hard to say - we're seeing the same change in behavior in a web browser, but that's on MacOS as well (in Safari.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think clicking on a video in a playlist from the web app has always resumed if there was a resume point. The same as if you clicked the play "arrow" on a poster in any other view.

caradoc 0 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 If there's no way to revert it, is there a way to keep Emby from storing the last-played point for a given user? Starting from the beginning for every play would be preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
