So yes the New Up item will appear in the New merged Continue Watching, or those same items will appear in the Next Up row if you enabled Next Up (Legacy) clearing the Continue Watching row for Resume items only.

The third item in the list is not a "next up" because I selected it manually instead of watching a series. And regardless of this explanation, the behavior of the program has changed, and IMHO not in a desirable way; if I hand pick an episode from a series, watch a few seconds, and close it, it should NOT appear in "next up" because I have not been watching a series in order.

So you're right, this was a controversial change, and if it's working as designed there's no reason to continue this discussion. At least I can easily remove videos from the list.

Thanks for your time, I appreciate you working on this on a weekend.

Yes it has changed.  Continue and Nextup were merged in 4.6.  However there is a new option (actually the old next up) called Next Up (Legacy) that you can use if you prefer the old way.

PS What you describe about watching episodes out of order didn't change and this will give you weird results.

Correct and, even with the old (and the now legacy) Next Up what you did will cause that item to appear in Next Up.

That is the same thing as watching the first episode in a series so, yes that will then cause the next up episode to be shown.  Again, this is not new behavior.

Has this answered your questions?

There is still a problem of the initial threshold not being respected.

No, it has not, because everything I am being told is wrong. I just did some tests on another server that is running version 4.5.3.0. I opened the first episode of a TV series, watched 10 seconds, and backed up. The episode did not appear in Continue Watching or Next Up (depending on the Home Page setting). I opened the fourth episode, watched for 10 seconds, and backed out. The episode did not appear in Continue Watching or Next Up.

So I will restate the original problem that I reported. Version 4.6.1 honors the 'Min resume percentage' for movies, but not for TV episodes.

I can not reproduce any unplayed series (first or any other episode), playing less than min resume percentage appearing in Continue Watching or Continue Watching/Next Up configuration. 4.6.2.0/4.7.0.2

It looks like 4.6.2 has fixed the problem. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback.
