My 1000s is only a couple of days old, so I am still getting used to it.
I have one recording (Jools’ Hootenanny on BBC HD) that I am watching in several parts. Each time I go back into it and choose ‘Resume’, it plays from the start of the recording.
I have checked a few other random recordings and they all seem to resume fine. I assume the Resume function is dependent on the PVR ‘marking’ the recording at the ‘Last Watched’ point and that it has failed to do this on this one recording for some reason.
Is this a known problem?
It’s a known problem I think, since the last/recent software update. I’ve noticed it myself on many programmes – assume it’s more the playback than anything to do with when it recorded though?
I was watching the 100 Xmas Toys with Jonathan Ross over Xmas – >3 hrs! I nearly gave up given the number of times I had to skip 2 mins at a time through to >2hr point. Very irritating, esp. given it wasn’t a problem before. Used to skip using the 2 min skip by just holding that button down. But not no more…
SOLVED IT!
I had put a ‘Keep’ on the programme. Once I took this off, the Resume now works as expected.
I haven’t tried this with some other files/recordings, but will when I get time.

That’s a great spot, keep must somehow stop the creation of the file that stores where you got to.

I find this useful when it occasionally resets back to the beginning of a recording whilst skipping forward a minute at a time to avoid adverts etc. Has anyone else suffered from this reset to the start problem?

Quote:Has anyone else suffered from this reset to the start problem?Yes after a similar post and experimenting, if you press the forward skip key too quickly more than once, doesn’t happen if you wait to see where the first push gets you to. Don’t remember this as an issue on 1.0.6.
OK thanks Graham, I’ll try slowing the old thumb down a bit
My recordings only resume when they feel like it, it has nothing to do with ‘kept’ recordings or being near the end.
Some times it works sometimes it doesn’t. I see others have the same problem on the Freesat FreeTime Forum.
Thanks for the tip about the circular button. Will try that out, along with the ‘keep’ option!
The resume function does not seem to work at all on our box it might have done when it was new in November(?) We haven’t used the keep function at all yet.
Also the rapid double press of the >>¦ used to jump forward accurately two minutes, now it take us to the start of the recording more often that not. Anyone else suffer this?

The Resume and Skip faults should be fixed in the March update.

You can use a different skip interval, look in setup. Think there were 4 choices & I went for the largest as I find it more useful

Well this March update seems like its going to be fixing a lot of problems. I hope it does as my box is arriving tomorrow
