Background: Jellyfin app on a Roku Ultra, all codecs and episode lengths are affected

Not a significant issue by any means but it happens every time and I don’t know why.

Sunday night I watched Episode 9 of a show then went to bed. Last night, I scrolled to Next Up and selected episode 10. Jellyfin then asked me if I wanted to start at the beginning or resume from 12:42. I THINK the time it gives us 50% through a show (I’ve gotten used to ignoring it)

I have no other players to test but I did confirm it happens on all file types and run times. I did NOT test if it’s accurate when I do stop an episode half way, through.

Is this a Roku-exclusive problem? Is there a solution either way?

    Roku provides us no method to know you exited the app. If you don’t press stop, pause, or back out of the video player and instead simply press Home, the server will think you’ve watched up to the end of your buffered amount of the video.
