STRM doesn't resume from the Dashboard - In progress Movies Section
but it works if I go into Movie and open the movie from there
here is a video example: https://streamable.com/511kk6

Is there a way to fix?

Resuming is a pet peeve of mine on Kodi, it's not always handled by addons and skins.

Does it resume from the context menu? i.e. Open context menu, explicitly select Resume

Check your setting for default select action, Settings -> Media -> Videos -> Default Select Action, set to Resume if not already.

Unfortunately, there is no "Resume" option in the context menu in the initial Dashboard.
here a screenshot: https://prnt.sc/BVGVbuYgln0m

And even if I click on "Information" and then on play, the resume of the movie it only works if I don't do it from the dashboard

Then, unfortunately, the skin (Estuary) is not handling resume.

This is not a video playback issue, as Kodi itself will in fact resume from other sections.

More specifically either Estuary is not seeing a resume or it's not opening the file with ",resume" in the backend.

(This should be in the Estuary support section.)

Thanks @"nymdbwdp", I asked the same question in the Estuary support section: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=371250

More specifically either Estuary is not seeing a resume or it's not opening the file with ",resume" in the backend.

Nothing to do with the skin.

[User 476552]

Funny you say that @Hitcher does Estuary use Player.Open(url) or Player.Open(url,resume)?

Sorry it's been a couple weeks since I looked at it, it's PlayMedia

I modified estuary to specifically resume in my case because it wouldn't for me either.

<onclick>PlayMedia($INFO[ListItem.FileNameAndPath],resume)</onclick>

[Hitcher]

It won't use either as it's a dynamic list and Kodi handles what happens when you click on it.

@Andreus please DO NOT create duplicate threads. If you feel you have posted in the incorrect place click the "report" button and report your own thread and a moderator can assist you.

As this is not a skin issue I have sent your duplicate thread to the bin.

I'm not trying to be contrary, nor am I saying there's anything wrong with the skin, I love the skin.

I'm saying, I've already come across this and fixed it in my own version as to not have this conversation with the developer.

Code:

xml/Variables.xml:              <value condition="Skin.HasSetting(album_onclick_play)">PlayMedia(musicdb://albums/$INFO[ListItem.DBID]/)</value>
xml/Variables.xml:              <value condition="Skin.HasSetting(tvshow_onclick_continuewatching)">PlayMedia(videodb://tvshows/titles/$INFO[ListItem.DBID]/,resume)</value>
xml/Variables.xml:              <value condition="Skin.HasSetting(tvshow_onclick_playfrombeginning)">PlayMedia(videodb://tvshows/titles/$INFO[ListItem.DBID]/,noresume)</value>
xml/Variables.xml:              <value condition="Skin.HasSetting(movieset_onclick_continuewatching)">PlayMedia(videodb://movies/sets/$INFO[ListItem.DBID]/,resume)</value>
xml/Variables.xml:              <value condition="Skin.HasSetting(movieset_onclick_playfrombeginning)">PlayMedia(videodb://movies/sets/$INFO[ListItem.DBID]/,noresume)</value>

In my instance, being a newb I didn't know what to use so I changed it in Includes_Home.xml to handle an onclick specifically with resume and it works.

If you were to put an

<onclick condition="String.IsEmpty(ListItem.TVShowTitle)">PlayMedia($INFO[ListItem.FileNameAndPath],resume)</onclick>

Into WidgetListPoster

Under <control type="panel" id="$PARAM[list_id]">

It will in fact resume.

Obviously what I put there only handles Movies, I use 2 different onclicks with conditionals and another script for more actions that only apply to my situation, and I'm not a skin developer so it's rather basic.

I didn't offer this as a solution to the OP because, even though my approach to open source software is just change the code if it doesn't work, this is not a solution for everyone and not everyone is able to do so.
