Video resumption to last played position still does not work
tzr916:
Regarding TV:
I used to NEVER have any issues starting playback on the Server, pressing stop, the "watched" field shows a percentage and date. Then going to a Client, seeing the same watched percentage/date, selecting watch, and the video resumes from the correct bookmark.
Something seems to have changed with recent versions, not sure when it happened. Clients (sometimes) will no longer show the watched percentage/date and playback starts at the beginning, not at the bookmark.
I run the Server and Clients 24/7, no sleep mode used. Until this recent change, I have NEVER had to refresh the client to see the watched percentage and have a working bookmark. It was always just there.
I do know MC Clients have to be restarted to pickup NEW series cover art. Maybe this bookmark issue is just another reason why we need a RESTART MC or REFRESH button in Theaterview.

Are you sure that it isn't just a timing issue tzr916? It does take a little while for the Bookmark to be synchronised between the Server and Clients. If you have changed your habits a bit, maybe you aren't giving it enough time any more? Or does it never happen now, no matter how long you wait?
BTW, aren't you sticking with MC22.0.76 for now, until the CPU load issue gets sorted out? In which case, recent changes don't matter much. ;D
The "Add a "button" in Theater View to restart MC (not restart PC)" is easy. I didn't answer last time because I thought you would work it out.
Options > Theatre View > Items to show > Add button, select "External Program" from the list, then fill in the fields as per the attached image. Of course, you probably don't want to put the item at the top level, as I have in the example. This uses the standard MC Command Line option "MC22.exe /restart".
Works for me, with multiple tests. Of course, you need to have MC starting in Theatre View, and probably pick a Location to start in other than "Last Location", so that someone doesn't accidentally keep hitting the restart button.
marko:
I kept my restart option off the screen, and just mapped it to a button on the remote control using MC's 'learning' feature.

Yaobing solved the JRTelevision.dll issue. Been using v22.0.110 for a few days now. New DLL incorporated into v23.0.13 (see version notes).
I guess it could be a timing issue/change of habits because it is only failing to show bookmarks ~50% of the time. I have not been able to figure out how to reproduce/troubleshoot.
Thanks for the info on adding a restart MC button! This will be setup on my clients ASAP.

The restart MC button was easy to setup. Unfortunately, it does not help at all for refreshing client's tv show bookmarks issue.
I just had a show that recorded Friday night. I watched 19% Saturday night on the server. Then Sunday night went to the client and there was no bookmark. Hit the restart MC button, all the new show cover art refreshed, but that show still had no bookmark.
Strangely, bookmarks that get set on the client, show up instantly on the server.
