everything was up to date, restarts had no difference, and the issue effected all apple tv content.

signing out, resetting the app, and then signing in again after restarting the app did resolve the issue.

thank you!

Hello cRose007,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities!

We understand that shows you've paused within the Apple TV app on your TV do not resume when unpaused and instead play from the beginning of the show. We'd like to help.

Are there any app or TV updates? If so, we would suggest installing any available updates first.

What happens when you close the Apple TV app and restart it?

Is this only occurring with specific shows or all content in the app?

If the issue persists after trying those suggestions, sign out and sign back into the app. Here's some information on how to do that: Get the Apple TV app on your smart TV, streaming device, or game console.

Cheers!

cRose007,

Awesome! We're happy to know that this has been resolved after signing out and back in to the Apple TV app on your device.

Have a nice day.
