Video downloaded: play-point synchronization between device & server

[LeidenSpain 33]

Hi everyone:

I am surprised by this point, so I have searched for information but have not found anything.

 

When I download a video to my phone to watch it on trips, if I leave it half-watched, it doesn't get marked on the server.
On my mobile phone, the downloaded video does appear as half-played, but if I then continue watching it on another device, it doesn't start.

 

Is this normal? Do I have something configured wrong?

The point of downloading to a device is to enable you to play  without a connection to the server - I think it's natural in that case that the server doesn't get told what you are doing!

The idea of downloading is to be able to watch without using data, without requiring the video from my server.
But not knowing what I have seen or not has nothing to do with data consumption or speed.

Without going any further, when I download something from a streaming platform, I can watch it on the plane. And when I get home, the application knows where I left off.

Hi.  Have you allowed that app on that device to connect to your server after you partially played it?  At that point, it should update the resume point.

Yes, both from outside my network and from within.
I'm at home right now.

But I just noticed that not even on the device does the same viewing point appear in the downloaded video and online.

     

 

I just noticed that (from the phone), if I access the movie from the DOWNLOAD section, the viewing point does appear, but if I go to the library, it gives me the option to select both videos (downloaded or online), but it does not show the viewing point.

iOS or Android?

Sorry, since I only use Android, I didn't know if it was a problem with the app or the server.
Then I saw that the displayed point was not coordinated in the app itself.

And today, without doing anything at all, the movie appears synchronized with my server.
