Nabukodonosor 15 Posted March 8 Author Posted March 8 Well, when the button is selected it changes color, so I'm sure I'm on the right button. I will try to record and catch the issue. It doesn't happen every time. And this is a maybe, just a maybe, but I've noticed one thing. If it's the first time I'm resuming a movie, it will happen, but every time after that it will not. But I can't be sure of this.
visproduction 352 Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Aha, well no overlaps possible, then maybe a false assigned function name. Perhaps the cached variable is out of scope in the code, so the Resume button doesn't get a variable at all and it defaults back to play.

This is not true, just checked it with a movie I resumed already 2-3 times. Also, I got a recording of the issue. VID_20260308_230659.mp4
Nabukodonosor 15 Posted March 9 Author Posted March 9 No dude, I just moved it so you can see I moved it back and clicked on the Resume button. I really can't believe we have to discuss weather I know how to click a button or not. You can clearly see I moved it back to the resume button and you can hear the click. Let's move pass this.
yocker 1535 Posted March 9 Posted March 9 @NabukodonosorHave you changed movie locations or replaced any movie files?
ebr 16419 Posted March 9 Posted March 9 That's not what I'm trying to discuss. I'm trying to get to the bottom of something that appears to only be happening to you and I cannot explain it. Do you know if maybe this only happens when you have done that exact thing - moved to play and then moved back to resume and quickly clicked?
Nabukodonosor 15 Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 It's not only me. There is one more person in this thread that also said it happened to them too.

I just did that so you guys can see that my focus is on the Resume button. I now realize that was a mistake.

It's been happening for months to me.
Nabukodonosor 15 Posted April 27 Author Posted April 27 No. They convinced me that it only happens to me.
ross87 12 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Oh... Definitely not just you: https://www.reddit.com/r/emby/s/ygRpnyT9m2 and The latter seems to indicate there is an identified issue.

I've honestly never encountered an issue as you're describing (and I do roam these forums quite a bit). As a test, if you long-press OK on the same item in the Continue Watching row and select "Play", does same occur?

Quote It only happens when I watch any show or movie on a Windows Device (Windows 10) and I do finish it, it flags it as watched and there is no ability to resume where I left off but on my iPhone and my Roku TV I can resume just fine. This only started happening about a few days ago Edited April 27 by GrimReaper 1

Nabukodonosor 15 Posted April 27 Author Posted April 27 (edited) Weeell, not really. If we're talking about the reddit post. His issue has a lot of moving parts. I don't pause my media, and come back later to find the problem. I just exit my media, and tomorrow I can't resume. Edited April 27 by Nabukodonosor

I've had the issue exactly as both you and the Reddit post described, so assumed it's one and the same.
Nabukodonosor 15 Posted April 27 Author Posted April 27 Well, I guess the root of the issue is the same. I guess.

Nabukodonosor 15 Posted April 28 Author Posted April 28 I don't think that's the issue in my case. I've never had this issue before, and now I have it constantly. With the same media. I don't want to junx it, but I've installed the latest version, and I think, I THINK, the issue is gone. But I have to test it more thoroughly. 1
visproduction 352 Posted April 28 Posted April 28 (edited) Clicking the resume button is an event that triggers a function by calling the function variable name that points to the resume. If the resume function cannot see the variable that defines the timecode, then it would default probably to start from the beginning. The default variable time value has to have been saved and called by the resume function. If that variable is out of scope and not available starting from the beginning would result. It would be good to review the code to see if the variable time value is not cached and available (out of scope), or the code is asking for a variable with the wrong name. Either bug can happen especially when code is copied and pasted in some version update. This is just a guess. Edited April 28 by visproduction 1
speechles 2070 Posted April 28 Posted April 28 (edited) The resume button looks at the UserData object and specifically at the PlaybackPositionTicks. If there is something there above zero it will prompt the resume button to appear. But the Video Player hand off is where things can go wrong. This is probably what was happening. Where the UI understand the resume point exists, but in passing through to the video player it loses this. Usually this happens when the media is not encoded correctly for the container. The actual runtime of the streams might exceed the runtime of the container. The seek chapters might be stored after the streams rather than before them. But...if the media was playing just fine without any issues with resume and today is problematic it might just be the video player. If you reboot the device it might fix it since that would wipe any cache. But the issue isn't the code itself otherwise the resume button wouldn't appear on the UI either.
