Re: Resume video playback on Samsung TVs

Will this feature ever be available on the Samsung B series?

Re: Resume video playback on Samsung TVs

Thanks sooo much for adding this feature. Resume Playback was the only reason I was hanging on to PC Share Manager. I'm uninstalling it now for good!! That is, right after I send a Paypal donation to Servio.

Thanks for making this happen.

Re: Resume video playback on Samsung TVs

Just wanted to run this by one more time. I have a UN46B8500 series TV. In order to get the Fast Forward and Rewind to work I run the .mkv 720p files through XenonMKV which strips the MKV wrapper and turns it into a MP4 file that can be FF and REW from the Serviio software. I do not get the Play Continuously (Resume) Press D Blue button when stopping and starting the file. If I copy the MKV or MP4 file over to a USB drive and run it directly from the TV then I also get FF and REW with the MKV file and both allow the Play Continuously (Resume) D Blue button option.

So the TV seems to be capable what is missing on the software side that would allow these options to be put in Serviio?

I have attached some screen shots of the files playing from a USB thumb drive.

Thanks for looking at this again Zip. I have been enjoying the software tremendously. Also since I could never ever get the Samsung software installed to my Windows 7 computer, your software has been awesome.

I have very little programming experience so I was just mainly looking for a more detailed explanation of why this is hard to make happen.

Thanks.
