But, this requires that on channel startup, a start at time can be provided. Streaming files don't seem to support this. They always start at the beginning. Do you guys know why this is? Maybe an enhancement i should push out to another XBMC forum? I thought i'd start here with this community of users before hitting pseudotv or creating a new post.
Yes, this is a general XBMC problem. It treats .strm files as playlists, so it doesn't track resume points or watched status for the .strms. However, it does track this information for the files inside of the .strm files.
I have been thinking about building a listener that will update the XBMC database with resume points and watched statuses of .strm files, based on the resume points and watched status of the files inside the strm (since this is already in the DB)...
...But I don't know when i'll get to that or if it will be more trouble than it's worth.
