Video resumption to last played position still does not work
RoderickGI:
I'm an Aussie as well so use Region B or Region Free Blu-rays.
A few questions I thought of;
1. How do you control MC and launch video and audio in MC? Remote Control, Keyboard, Keyboard and Mouse, JRemote or some other remote control software?
2. If you use a Remote Control, what is it? A Harmony, a standard or clone MCE remote, brand, model?
3. What file name is MC showing for the video/movies that give you trouble?
For example, my Blu-rays have a filename like "F:\Movies\Her (2013)\BDMV\index.bluray;1" in the MC library. i.e. MC points to a file in the \BDMV\ sub-directory which called "index.bluray" and doesn't actually exist. MC adds an index to point to "1", which I assume is the first or main feature on the Blu-ray disc. The actual file in that directory is "index.bdmv" and double-clicking on that file plays the movie. Actually so does double-clicking on the "MovieObject.bdmv" file in the \BDMV\ sub-directory.
I know you use a stand-alone PC and not a Client/Server arrangement, that you are viewing and playing video and audio using Theatre View, with the MC set to Pause the video when you hit Back to go back to the Theatre View menu system.
4. Anything else I missed, or unusual about your setup?

1. I typically use an IR remote control. But I just tested it again using my keyboard and the same thing happens.
2. A Logitech Harmony Ultimate One with a clone MCE IR Dongle.
3. The filename appears just like you have an example of.
4. I use LM Remote Keymap for key-mapping.

I seems to be all about playing an AUDIO file in between stopping video and then resumption.
If I play movie A and then stop it, then close JRiver MC, then launch JRiver MC again, then play movie A it works!
If I play movie A and then stop it, then play movie B, then play movie A it works!

Have you tested with this uninstalled?

I almost didn't do any testing when I saw this. I expect it is sending an additional Stop command at some point, which clears the Bookmark.
I decided to test anyway. I used Theatre View only, with my Harmony Remote Control for all commands in the test, but used my keyboard to find media quickly. I had my MC Client running on my Workstation at the same time, and used it to check the Bookmark value at each step. I did three tests with three separate movies combined with three separate music tracks. Results are shown in the attached image. All tests were successful. The Bookmark functionality worked every time, as before.
So, I'm not familiar with LM Remote Keymap, but with a little bit of research, I can see that it is quite capable of recognising the status of a Home Theatre and taking different actions based on that status. Much like the Harmony Remote software. For example, I watched a video where the user had set up his own Home Theatre and was able to switch between watching content on his projector or on his TV, and LM Remote Keymap would know to turn off the projector and turn on the TV, switch inputs, but retain the source he was playing.
As your problem only exist when you switch from playing Audio to playing Movies, I suspect that LM Remote Keymap is recognising that condition and sending a Stop command before it sends a Play command for the movie. The Stop would clear the Bookmark and the movie would start from the beginning every time. As the problem happens whether you use your keyboard or Remote Control, LM Remote Keymap must capture and modify what gets sent to MC regardless of the source. I didn't investigate LM Remote Keymap enough to confirm that though.
LM Remote Keymap has five levels of Trace in its settings. I suggest you turn on at least level "3 : Trace infos" or level "4 : Trace all (verbose)", and see if a Stop command is being sent.
If that doesn't show anything, you could use MC's log from the just after you stop a movie, through playing audio, until you start the movie again and see if a Stop command is received just before the movie Play command.
