Emby server reporting playback different than emby client

[DancingTable 11]

My brother is watching something on the linux client - external player. He is watching it with no issues whatsoever. However, on my end, it shows him as watching 10-20 seconds, then going back to the start of the episode. He is not, he is watching it all the way through without issue. 

 

Any idea why, or what could cause this?

 

Logs attached.

HI, there is actually no progress reporting with external players, simply because there is no universal way to get that information. It's actually not supposed to be showing any progress at all in this situation, so we'll have to take a look at that. Thanks.

I suspected that might be the case, but wanted to check in anyway in case my assumption was wrong.

 

 

I'm talking about in the admin settings in the dashboard is where it shows the 10-20 second progress, then back to the start

Yea that's what I mean. There should just be no progress line there at all.
