Happy to provide any details, though I'm not sure which ones to provide. The behavior I'm seeing is as-follows:
I added a 9-episode show to my media server and unlike other show's episodes, its episodes won't let me seek when using the Android TV client. If I press play, it will play fine, but if I try to seek, the episode resets back to the beginning and I cannot seek back to the place in the video where I was. I spot checked a few episodes and all of the ones I checked reset back to the beginning when I try to seek.
As mentioned in the description, seeking works fine in the Jellyfin web client, Jellyfin phone client (android), and within VLC on my local PC. It only fails on the Android TV client, which is our primary client, so I doubt it's an issue with the media itself as much as something funky going on with the Android TV client for this particular media.
