Quote:When I look at the guide and see that a video is playing halfway through and I go to that channel it starts from the beginning it just doesn't feel right to me. What I like about channel "surfyness" is just flipping around whether it has already started or not, like catching the end of a movie instead of starting the whole thing from the beginning. Doing this function while still letting you jump around the playlists.
This is how things should work, actually. It works this way when manually going up or down in channels. If you open the EPG and see that a show on another channel is "currently playing" (based on the time bar) then selecting that show should start playing it at some appropriate offset. I have seen the issue that you talk about, though...I just have a hard time reliably reproducing it in order to debug it. As far as I can tell it generally (perhaps only) happens with movies. If you come to some conclusion as to when the situation happens (ex. if i select a movie that started more than 30 minutes ago, or is more than half over) then that would be fantastic help.
