Using Gotham there are some movie channels that don't continue to play, they always start at the beginning when I switch to them. So even if I go back 5 minutes later it starts at the beginning. Just reporting some issues in case no one else did.

I had that problem as well, but I tracked it down to movies that had local subtitle tracks in the folder. Once I removed them, normal seek/resume playback worked. I haven't tried putting them back recently though, or moving them to another sub folder..
Does anybody have a solution for this issue that doesn't involve getting rid of all my subtitle files? I've tried moving them to sub-folders in each movie's individual folder, which didn't fix it, and then moving every .srt file to a single subtitles folder, which also didn't make a difference. I actually thought it had fixed it at first, because the first time I loaded PTVL up after that move, it started on a film that was halfway through, but then I changed to a different channel, enabled subtitles and went back to the previous channel to find that movie starting over again.
And a somewhat-related second question - is there a way of tweaking the ratio of tv shows to movies on mixed channels? I only just switched from the original PTV when I upgraded to Gotham, and it seems like my Animation channel has a lot more movies in the schedule than I'd like, especially when most of them keep starting from the beginning when I browse through to that channel.
I've been trying to figure out why this happens, It happens to me randomly... I'm usually to lazy to keep track of wither it's the same movie each time or what format the move is in...
If you can build a list and let me know if the problem is with one type of format this would help me narrow down the issue.
thanks
My issues were with primarily with mkv format which is what I burn most of my media as lately, but also with mp4's for sure, and I believe avi's. As far as subtitles, .sub and .srt extensions both caused it. It should be easy enough to replicate, you might get a few proper seek/resume playbacks initially, but it will reset soon enough after a couple channel changes.
I eventually just wrote a script to run that deleted all subtitle extensions, and ran that through media center master to remove all mine...sucked, but everything seeks proper now.
