TV episodes flagged as "watched" as soon as started.... no resume point if stopped early

[OMGzilla 1]

Howdy all. I've been trying out Emby on and off for a couple years, and this is one problem that persists and has kept me from switching from Plex. For any given TV episode, the moment I start playback, it gets flagged as watched. So if I exit out partway through and return later, the subsequent episode is what's presented to me as next to watch. I've dug around on the forums and have seen references to a setting to set a "resume duration", but I cannot locate it anywhere. Any advice? I'm up-to-date with Emby Server, 4.9.5.0 on macOS 15.7.7 (Intel).

Well that took me a hot minute to find, but that helped nudge me in the right direction. I had changed these some time back as part of my troubleshooting with no effect. Those are currently set to 5 / 99 / 30

So.... anyone have any ideas? I changed the settings back to default, no dice. I created a new server from scratch on an alternate login, no dice. Is this simply a bug with the macOS Emby server?

Well I guess devs will need logs.

Read this carefully and do all steps.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Hey, sorry I overlooked this earlier. Here's a log file freshly made.

Does the detail screen for this video show a known runtime?

Mmmm... I'm not sure what detail screen you refer to. When playing the video, it shows amount of time played and time remaining. If I go to the server and inspect the videos, perhaps here is what you mean? As a comparison, if I look at a movie, I see the total runtime and the time it will end if starting at that moment. I see no such detail when looking at any TV episode. I just double checked and I do get a resume option for movies.
