    Default Where is the resume time stored and can I edit it?

    I have an old Samsung C series TV that doesn’t support chapters, but does support resume (using the “D” key on the remote).

    Quite often — especially after a server reboot or restarting the Mezzmo service — the TV loses it’s resume point. Since my TV doesn’t support chapters, it can take forever to manually fast-forward to wherever I stopped the movie.

    Where is the resume information stored and can I edit it? It would be a viable workaround to quickly regain resume control instead of having to lean on the fast-forward button for 5-10 minutes.

    The resume information is stored in the MGODeviceBookmark table in the database. You will need to know the File ID and the position in seconds where you want to resume.

    I looked at the table and doesn't contain the movie I'm currently watching or the one before it. The movie before that is in the table and is the newest entry. As a test, I just started a movie and let it run for 30 minutes. The table didn't update with the File ID, but the TV is letting me resume. Is there anywhere else the bookmark data is stored?

    This is the only location where the bookmark data is stored. Possibly the TV is not sending the bookmark back to the Mezzmo server and is only storing the bookmark locally within it's memory?

    I just sent you an email with a snapshot of the last 7 videos. It suggests the Samsung is writing to the MGODeviceBookmark table, but my other player -- a WDLive TV -- is not. I have proven that bookmark data is being stored locally, but of the last 5 movies played by this player, two of them did update the bookmark table. Weird. Anyway, you answered my original question, so I should be good. Thanks!

    Yes WDTV Live devices write their bookmarks locally and do not return them to the media server. Samsung devices have their own X_Bookmark message that is sent to the server when a video stops playing so if this is not being sent the server will not have the bookmark.

    A quick update:

    The solution works with my Samsung C TV and is relatively quick. The trick is predicting where I was in the movie. At least, I can now bounce to the middle and FF/RW from there.
