Video resumption to last played position still does not work
Matt:
Coming next build:
Changed: Pressing the "Back" button to return to Theater View now saves the bookmark.

Oh thank you!
This certainly one thing (among many) that separates JRiver from the others; the ability of the developers to constantly read user feedback and act on it.
Hendrik:
The main reason back didn't work is because it doesn't actually stop playback, but it pauses it, so you can go back to where you were instantly.
You can also configure the back button behavior in the settings.

With the latest version of JRiver this is still a problem for me with bluray FULL DISC rips.

The Bookmark functionality is working for me with full disc Blu-ray rips I have made with DVDfab. I don't rip to ISO files, preferring a full directory structure rip. I only tested a recent "Resident Evil" rip.
NOTE: I was testing on my HTPC, which is my MC Server, as none of my MC Clients have remote controls. Naturally, if trying this on a MC Client, the Client will need to be synchronising tags back to the server, and have time to do that before the Client is closed.
So then I tested on my Client using a keyboard and the Backspace key. Again, everything worked as expected.
I have wanted to test the playback resume function between the Server and Client for a while, so I did that while I was testing Bookmarking. As long as the Client was synchronised with the Server, I could start watching a movie on either the Client or the Server, and continue to watch it from the same point on the other PC. That work whether I paused via Back/Backspace, or Stopped playback on the first PC, then resumed playback on the second PC. Neat.
I synchronised the Client to the Server simply by opening it after stopping/pausing playback on the Server. I synchronised the Client back to the Server manually using the "Sync Change with Library Server" button under Playing Now in Standard View.

Whether the Back button pauses playback or not is controlled via the setting "Options > Theatre View > Behaviour > Pause video playback when entering Theatre View". I leave this setting unchecked so that live TV keeps playing in the TV Guide when I jump to the Guide using my remote button. I find it handy to leave it unchecked anyway, so that movies keep playing even when I am in Standard View or Theatre View menus. I can hear that the movie is still playing, and know to press Stop if I wish it to stop playing back, or the Media button (equivalent to Ctrl-3) on my remote to jump back to the movie in full screen. If, for example, I want to check some menu item, and may want to go back to the movie when done. As you have been pressing the Back button on your remote when you want to stop playback Paul, no doubt you have this setting ticked.
Anyway, I ticked this setting to test and everything worked with full disc Blu-ray rips.
In Theatre View, I selected Resident Evil and either pressed OK>Watch, or the Play button on the remote.
Pressing Back pauses the movie and updates the Bookmark. I checked the Bookmark tag via Standard View to be sure.
Pressing Back then Play while the movie was Paused and the movie was still highlighted in Standard or Theatre Views took me back to the movie full screen and playing at the correct location.
Pressing Back, then Stop, then Play (or OK, Watch) while the movie thumbnail was still highlighted started playback at the correct location.
Pressing Back, then navigating menus, then pressing the Media button, or Ctrl-3 if I was in Standard View, resumed playback at the correct location.
Double Stop cleared the Bookmark (although the gap between Stop presses needs to be a lot longer than it used to be. Still works.)
Paul, what steps are you doing to see a failure, how are you observing the failure, and what is in the Bookmark tag for the movie after you see a failure?
