Playback progress of Home Videos missing for synced media

[Nanganator 3]

Server OS: Ubuntu 20.04.06
Emby server: 4.8.6.0
Clients:
Emby for iOS 2.2.17
Emby for Android 3.3.86

Apologies if this is a feature request and not a bug.

I’ve started using a Home videos & photos library to store and watch YouTube videos I’ve pulled down with a different application. I use Emby’s sync function to pull new unwatched content to my devices. When watching the local (on client device) files whilst online, the playback progress of downloaded media from this library is not retained. Stopping a locally stored video part way through and returning to it shows no playback progress and no resume button.

This only happens when online and browsing to the library, or using the “latest” section on the home screen, but selecting to play the downloaded version of the file. Playing the downloaded version of the file directly from the Downloads section works fine.

HI, yes I can reproduce this. This will be resolved in the next set of app updates (not the iOS update that went out today).

Thanks !

Could be related;
I’m also noticing the “mark as watched” button does nothing when directly opening media from the Downloads section as well.

Also seems all of these are observed on Movies, TV Shows libraries as well. Not just Home videos & photos libraries.

We’ll take a look at it. Thanks.
