Video resumption to last played position still does not work
RoderickGI:
Okay, it is official as far as I'm concerned: Zoneswitch breaks resume to Bookmark functionality for Movies and TV playback if the Zone is switched.
On my HTPC which runs the MC Server, so no Client involvement.
I had only one Zone, the default Player Zone.
I tested playing AVI, MKV, and BDMV Movies and some AVI and MKV TV Episodes. Bookmarks worked for all of them, even when playing Video, Audio, Video, as per our test methodology.
I created two new Zones, "Video" and "Audio", each by copying the "Player" Zone.
I turned on Zoneswitch, which I haven't used in ages, and created Zoneswitch rules.
I used very simple selection rules. If [Media Type]="Video" use the Video Zone, if "Audio" use the Audio Zone.
In each Zone I had the other two zone stopped, so they were all part of an exclusive Zone group.
I started to play a video I had already been testing with Bookmarks, which had a valid Bookmark already. The Movie started from the beginning. It should not have.
I tried with the AVI, MKV, and BDMV Movies I had already checked were working. Initially I didn't even bother playing audio, but there was some inconsistency so I went back to our methodology, and played Video/Audio/Video. In all these tests the movie started from the beginning again.
So I tested on one TV Episode, several times, without playing audio in between. It worked fine every time. Then I played the TV, then audio, then TV and the Bookmarking failed again. So it appeared that if I played the TV Episode without causing Zoneswitch to kick in, Bookmarking worked. But as soon as Zoneswitch kicked in, Bookmarking failed.
I think I'm done testing. If necessary I will produce a log. I have one of the first movie playbacks that failed, but that was immediately after setting up Zoneswitch so I don't think it is entirely representative. This functionality is broken. A fix would be nice because I would like to start testing the WDM with Zoneswitch, but I rely on Bookmarking working too much to have it fail in this way.

This is interesting because I setup a simple zone switch rule like this:
[Media Type]=[Video]
Then when I play a video, it switches to the zone I had setup and resumes from the bookmark.
Any ideas what might be different?
Thanks.

have you configured it to stop playback in other zones?

Yes, I told it to stop playback in a whole pile of zones.

I don't know what else might be different. RoderickGI has done this from scratch and reproduced it so I suggest just following his approach exactly.
