the Playlist features are GREAT. I use it for Cartoon TV Shows for my Daughter so I don’t have to keep choosing a different cartoon every 15 minutes for her. However, a nice feature would be to add a PLAY button to the actual Playlist Itself, so that if you are playing videos in a playlist, then STOP the videos, you could just hit the playlist Play button again and have it prompt you to start the playlist from the location it was stopped. So, playback of a playlist from where it was last stopped basically. That would be Great because now if I stop playing a playlist to come back to it later, i have to remember what episode/video it was on so as to not guess and/or start the list all over and what not. just a thought, would be a really useful/cool feature. thanks as always PLEX! ---

This, so much this. I just assumed this would be possible but can’t seem to find any way to do it. I have a Doctor Who playlist for example so that I can have the specials play in order with the regular season episodes but there’s currently no way I can find to continue the playlist from where I last left off? Please help if there is a way to do this and I just am not seeing it. Hitting “Play” from inside the playlist on the Apple TV app seems to always start it from the beginning. ---
