My wife watched a full programme and the next episode didn't appear in either list.

@stuartaafter you play, does the web app reflect what you completed playing?

Unfortunately not, only the programs I watch in the web browser

How did you check this exactly?

So when I watch something via the web page, the next episode appears under continuing watching on the web page and in DLNA on the TV.  The episode also appears under next up and noticed I have another series showing under next up which I had been watching on the app.

However when watching purely via the TV DLNA, that series doesn't appear.

This screenshot shows what I've been watching via web page but my wife has been another series on the TV.

What do you see in the web app after doing this?

Posted

Only shows the same 2 programs that I've watched on the web not the series my wife has watched on the TV

Do you and your wife use the same user on your server, or separate ones?

Posted

Same account but I wasn't sure if that would make a difference as programmes I watch online do show on the TV

If you use the server's play to feature to cast it to the tv, then it should work, right?

Posted

HI, yes, I mean use the cast icon in the top right of one of our apps to send it to the TV.

ok I'll give that a go and try

Ok so just watched an episode via casting and when I went back into DLNA direct on the TV, it showed the next episode under next up only.  It didn't automatically play the next episode so I guess this way I just continue using the app.

It was an older series which was downloaded in a different format and doesn't play on DLNA but when casting it plays fine.

Right when you play direct from Dlna, there are multiple ways in which TV's report their position and the dlna server just hasn't added support for all of them yet. So that's why you see the resume position not being tracked.

Ok thanks so effectively it isn't going to work unless I cast from my phone?

At the moment correct. Do we not have an Emby app for your TV?

No unfortunately nothing in the Viera store. Maybe time to upgrade to a TV with Google built in and I guess the Android app would then work?

Yes exactly.
