    New User here. 

    I Installed latest Jellyfin on Windows 10 today. Added 15TB NAS libraries for Film and TV and exposed these via DLNA so I can watch on various LG TVs around the house. 

    Everything works fine but if I stop watching a Film/TV programme I am unable to see any entry in Continue Watching.

     I’ve posted below a similar(unanswered) question which was put on Reddit before that was closed.

     My situation is exactly the same 

    FWIW - I’ve been running Plex since 2008 but it just gets more bloated which is why I thought I’d try Jellyfin as a more lightweight (and local) solution.

    So, is ‘continue watching’ supported via a DLNA Client? If so, is there anything I need to do to enable it (I tried search in this forum and there’s nothing in the Docs as far as I can see). I was wondering if ‘continue watching’ was associated with a logged in user whilst DLNA uses no logged in user.

    (BTW Plex does support ‘continue watching’ via DLNA but I like the idea of Jellyfin).

    Thanks in advance

    Jellyfin updates watch status and playback tracking via updates from the client, which DLNA doesn't do. It appears Plex does watch status/playback tracking server side for DLNA.

    That’s a shame. I guess I’ll be sticking with Plex for now as that really is, for me, an essential feature. Thanks for your response.
