I appreciate all the configuration guides here, and they have worked for me to get the video to play, but not 'resume' at the correct time when changing to their particular channel.

I have autotuned and then edited the XML file to include the Plugins, PlayOn folders, and LiveTV I want included. Everything works. My HBO GO, Netflix, LiveTV, EPG, etc, pulls up and plays just fine. However I can't seem to find any info on the fact that most of these videos start from the beginning each time I go to that channel, even though the guide shows it as halfway done. Then if I go to that channel, it changes the EPG and shows it as if that show/movie had just started. This is only a problem with streaming video like Plugins/Playon. Locally stored shows will start at the correct time upon choosing their channel, it's just the internet sourced videos.

I've tried "force real time" setting on these channels with no luck. My default setting for PTVL is real-time mode. I've tried scraping all these playon videos with PseudoLibrary and then using Ember to create NFOs with duration/runtime to see if that helped, but nothing is working. NOTE: I have also gone into the PlayOn folder and opened the option to change playback to resume, and that did not affect anything.

Does anybody have anything that worked with your set up?

PTVL set to real-time mode will emulate livetv, meaning shows will start offset... But sometime ago I added a "Smart Seek" feature to online content... if the offset time for a strm, playon, plugin, etc is more than 6/10 the total duration, the show will start from the beginning... reason being it takes so long "sometimes" to load online content... no point in waiting for it to only play for 10mins.

That must be it. My computer seems very quick to start the streams, usually just 2-4 seconds, and with local media (mkv 1080p ~4.65gb files) it starts in about 1-2 seconds.

If there was ever a chance to include an option in the settings for PTVL to enable/disable the Smart Seek feature, that would be phenomenal. I need my friends to be able to use this - and they are fooled when using it because it looks so good and is more or less quick, but they get very confused when the show starts at the beginning when they thought it was at the end. Anyway I hope you'll consider it. PseudoTV Live has hands down made the biggest impact on my HTPC, so thanks for all your work on this.
