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?
4620RW,
Sorry, but that's incorrect. I meant to come back here with this update:
After reading a number of other posts in the forum, I signed out the Apple TV app only my Roku, and reset the app. I had to sign back in again, but now resume DOES work. I did it again just now to be sure- started an episode of Night Court, fast-forwarded 10 minutes into the show, exited the show, exited the Apple TV app, then opened it again. I was able to resume right where I left off.
Obviously signing out and resetting the app is not a viable permanent solution, but it is a workaround.
Thanks for reaching out Chris_Lira,
It sounds like you're trying to resume playback where you left off after closing out a show on the Apple TV app. We can help.
Currently what you are looking to do is only possible if you pause, but do not close, streaming content. If you close the show or movie you are watching, the spot you left off at is not preserved.
If you'd like, you can learn more about how to Control what’s playing in the Apple TV app and the supported features. Or, if you'd like you can also share Feedback - Apple TV App.
Hope that helps.
Take care.
Hi Chris_Lira,
For further support, it would be best to Contact Apple Support directly. They will be in the best position to support you.
Best wishes.
