In Kodi there was a great add-on called Unpause Jumpback

It was configurable to the time values, so the following are examples of how I’d set it up.  
If you paused a video for more than 3s then the player automatically jumped back 10s and queued it up so that when you come back to the video you get that short recap just prior to where you left off. The Kodi add-on had some other features, but this is the one function I miss.

It’s particularly useful if you need a bio break or take a short phone call and come back to continue your show.

It would be great if similar functionality was added into the Plex Player(s).

For reference, it’s part of the core Kodi Repo: [https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Unpause\_Jumpback](https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Unpause_Jumpback)

There’s already a feature suggestion discussing this. I suggestion you comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting/dispersing votes.

I’ll therefore close this thread as a duplicate.
