Background: Jellyfin app on a Roku Ultra, all codecs and episode lengths are affected
Not a significant issue by any means but it happens every time and I don’t know why.
Sunday night I watched Episode 9 of a show then went to bed. Last night, I scrolled to Next Up and selected episode 10. Jellyfin then asked me if I wanted to start at the beginning or resume from 12:42. I THINK the time it gives us 50% through a show (I’ve gotten used to ignoring it)
I have no other players to test but I did confirm it happens on all file types and run times. I did NOT test if it’s accurate when I do stop an episode half way, through.
Is this a Roku-exclusive problem? Is there a solution either way?
I’ve had this issue as well with the WebOS client. I found that if I hit “back” to exit playback but not the app, it worked fine. The issue was only if I turned off the TV or exited the app, so I simply tried to avoid doing that.
I don’t have any other advice and never managed to actually fix the problem.
That’s so weird but I’ll try it tonight, thanks! I definitely back out to the Roku home screen every time
Maybe back out into the Jellyfin app, then give it a second, then back out to the Roku home screen?
My running theory was that if I quit too quickly, the server would place the timestamp at the end of what had been pulled for buffering, but if I took a second, the webOS client could update the server with the actual timestamp. It seemed to be about 5-8 minutes ahead every time.
