TV programs also start over after paused

How can I change my setting so that episodes don't reset to the beginning? This is extremely frustrating. If I paused even for 5 minutes, I have to fast forward to where I left off. I am using the app on a firestick.

Can’t resume an episode Roku I watch Apple TV on my Roku; it and the Apple TV app version are current. if I watch part of a Tv episode, exit the app, come back in some time later and select the episode from the Up Next list, it does not resume. It always starts from the beginning of that episode. This seems like REALLY basic functionality that all other streaming apps have, so I am assuming I am doing something wrong. Please tell me what it is. How do I resume watching something?

Apple TV+ on Fire TV Stick 4K and pausing programs Hi, I wonder if anyone else has this issue with an Apple TV+ program on a Fire TV Stick 4K. I will be watching a program in Apple TV+ and I pause it. Come back a few minutes later and it has timed out and gone back to the main screen for the program I was watching. When I go to continue the program it starts from the beginning. It does not continue from where I left off. Is that just inherent to the program? I have to start at the beginning and and fast forward every single time to continue my program. Thank you for listening and I hope there is a fix.
