How do I play a movie from the beginning?
« on: March 16, 2020, 09:26:14 am »
When I select a movie in Theater View is there a way to choose to start from the beginning? I am using a Harmony hub based remote and for some reason stop x 2 doesn't work. It would be great if when choosing the movie to have the option to resume or start from the beginning. If that option exists I can't find it.


Thanks

Look at:
Options > General > Behavior > Resume playback using bookmarks

You could pick "Never" if you always want to start over from the beginning.

In the beginning there was no light, let alone cameras to capture the darkness.

Stop twice (without any delay between) should work.

I don't always want to start from the beginning.

Stop, Stop isn't working using my remote. Don't know why.

I'm surprised that this isn't already part of MC. I thought for sure I was missing a setting somewhere.

It's possible a remote could convert two stops to one.

Feature request: Please add "Play from beginning" as an option in Theater View.

The feature is basically there.
Options > General > Behavior > Resume playback using bookmarks
There are 3 options:  Automatic, Never, Ask
If you select "Ask", you always get the choice in Theater View.

Thanks @mojave. That is exactly what I was looking for. I was only looking in the Theater View options because I was trying to make a change only in Theater View. Matt's post didn't mention the Ask option so I didn't look at the Options > General > Behavior > Resume playback using bookmarks.

Thanks again

I just want to say thanks as well Mojave. This was bugging me, especially with a young daughter who wants to keep watching over and over the same movie (obviously from the beginning). That just solves that issue.  ;D
