Is resuming playback suppose to be global to the server and clients. For example can I watch a video from one computer, stop playback and then resume playback from another computer?
I do not have the option to resume playback from any computer unless a playback position is saved from the server.

Server Settings:
Recordings Directory: D:\Recordings
LiveTV Buffer Directory: D:\Recordings\LiveTV

Client settings:
Server: Mediapc
Recording Share: \\Mediapc\Recordings
TV Buffer Share: \\Mediapc\Recordings\LiveTV
Database Share: \\Mediapc\GBPVR

All computers are running GB-PVR v1.4.7

Example:
I have a show stored on the server as D:\Recordings\Attack of the Show!\Attack of the Show!_20091120_10001100.ts

On the client in PVRX2.exe.log all the lines that have getLastPlaybackPosition:
PlaybackPositionManager.getLastPlaybackPosition(D:\Recordings\Attack of the Show!\Attack of the Show!_20091120_10001100.ts)

On the client in PVRX2.exe.log all the lines that have storeLastPlaybackPosition:
PlaybackPositionManager.storeLastPlaybackPosition(\\Mediapc\Recordings\Attack of the Show!\Attack of the Show!_20091120_10001100.ts, 4)

In the PLAYBACK_POSITION table of gbpvr.db3:
775|\\Mediapc\Recordings\Attack of the Show!\Attack of the Show!_20091120_10001100.ts|4|3594|2009-1-20 22:02:36.0000000

So it seems getting the last playback position will fail unless it was saved from the server using the D:\ path.
One workaround that would probably work is to have the Server Recordings Directory match exactly to the Client Recording Share.
This problem also occurs with the Video Library so all my paths would also need to match across all computers.
Is anyone else having this problem?

To be honest, I dont remember. Its been years since I've tested this.

Given your description, it sounds like it isnt working, so I'll put it on my list to look into for the next release.

i seem to remember if you watch from video library, it uses the network path and will store it as such, but from server it uses drive: path and stores it that way, looking like 2 different files when trying to resume..[one net path, one local]
try resuming a previously watched show from video library and see if it resumes..

hmm,mine's working properly, if viewed from video library, it uses net paths and resumes properly from both client and main pvr..
viewed from recordings screen, it stores local path, and resumes appropriately...
clients for me are resuming properly shows originally played from server..

aha, you're using file sharing mode clients...i use streaming mode..that's it...
file sharing clients access file by their network path, streaming clients use local path to server to play files...
local names seem to be the only ones looked for when time to resume...
[which works for streaming clients, not fiule sharing mode ones]
tho they should resume properly when viewed from video library on client..Big Grin

My fix to get resume working on all clients for recorded shows was to:
1. On the server change the drive letter for the recording directory from D to R
2. On the server share R drive
3. On all clients map the shared R drive from the server as R
4. In config.exe for all computers change the recording directory path to R:\Recordings

So I just made the recording directory have the same path on all computers. Resume works perfectly now. Thanks for everyone's help.
