There are numerous ways to launch the playback of a TV show from the Plex main screen, “Home/Continue Watching”, “Home/Recently Added”, “Library/Recently Released” etc.
99% of the time, when I see a TV show thumbnail, with a yellow corner indicator, suggesting there are unwatched episodes - I just want to “continue watching” - so I just move to the item, and press play on my remote.
However, this only “continues” if I did it from a thumbnail with a yellow “triangle” corner icon (i.e - “continue watching”) - not one with a “number” corner icon.
I find that I am CONSTANTLY hitting play on shows, and it goes back to Season 1, Episode 1 - because I used the wrong entrypoint.
I can’t be the only one struggling with this diligence.
I feel, that the UX experience is just too subtle.
I would love a setting: “Always Continue Watching”.
In fact, there is an argument that the behavior is inconsistent with “Movies” (possibly causing my brain to fail to adapt) - because movies ALWAYS “continue watching” from where you left off.
Please… I don’t know how many times I’ve re-watched the first 5 minutes of a bunch of TV shows before I thought “what the heck… why does everybody look so young? Ohhhh… darn it!”. ![]()
Thanks.
