Go into PseudoTV Live settings, Tweaks and change playback method from”Playlist” to “PVR Callback”

This will let PVR backend handle playback and not a standard playlist, thus will not make items as watched nor add resume times to played items.

It is set to PVR Callback.  If you notice my 3rd point towards the end, "My tweak setting is set for pvr playback.".

I am starting to notice some subtle differences when I switch back and forth from the native kodi backend to the jellyfin backend.  This might be related to the jellyfin plugin playback mode in add-on mode.  I'm going to setup the rpi4 in native kodi local db, then in native kodi shared db with mysql and compare how ptv behaves.  I will do the same with kodi with a jellyfin backend in add-on mode and in native mode.  I believe some of the playback issues of 2 and 3 are related to the jellyfin backend.
