Just to clarify, this is when you playback from KODI library?   

Yes I tried from both files and library with the same result always plays from the beginning.
It does work from within the addon but not from the library.  

If you need a fast solution, try to use the spreadsheet feature.

AFAIK this works within the library when you want to resume a movie. 

Yes using the spreadsheet does work from within the library but it doesnt mark tv shows and movies as watched when they have finished which also means the trakt addon doesnt get triggered.
