Can anyone confirm if you can add the same show to separate playlists and it tracks the next episode to view separately ?

@Deedee36 Netflix has its own  system to know where you left off, so you can move from device to device (not just Sky) and it knows what you are doing.  You were specifically talking about the continue watching and playlists in general.

@Anonymous  What I meant was if I'm watching a show from say sky ondemand on the glass and want to finish say show on the puck when I turn it on it's as if I have watched none of it but by launching an app quickly  not only Netflix it could be iPlayer prime all 4 and go back to the Home Screen the blue progress bars appear on all shows I've been watching

@Deedee36  I think it's certainly possible, however what maybe an issue is how quickly synchronisation events happen.  If this happens every 15 mins or so, for example, then obviously if you try to continue watching elsewhere but a syncs hasn't happened recently then continue watching would be from where the last successful sync would be.  

I presume CW datapoint tags are stored on Sky servers like playlist info is.  All the information between your devices and Sky will need to be at scheduled periods rather than instantaneously else sky servers would be getting a sending/receiving deluge of data every second.

Re: When is QS014 due?

as you say @Deedee36 its a bodge job, and not how it should work.  You should be able to turn off in one room and start in another.  But I was told that would not happen as they are seperate units, and not connected like Q.  So seems as if you will get very fit, if you have to keep running between rooms to continue watching, perhaps thats the keep fit function that Sky are on about 😁

Re: When is QS014 due?

I was told yesterday by Sky support on phone that QS014 had been rolled back due to issues and that the version 13 on our pucks was the latest available. I said these threads said different but he was adamant. 

 

I wonder if its the QS014 upgrade process which has killed my pucks and seemingly those of others yesterday who are on OFNL?

@Deedee36 Works with real full fat apps or PWAs like Glass and Q have?  PWAs potentially store small amounts of cached data locally to the devices.  If this how the PWAs are implemented in Glass and the cache isn't/can't be replicated to the Pucks/Glass TV then viewing tracking just won't work.  

This could well be down down to how the PWAs are coded by the 3rd party and whether they understand the platform and know how to utilise it rather than it being a Sky issue.  It's a bit of an unknown.

@Jporch316  I've just added the same show to 2 separate playlists and it appears if you watch a show in playlist 1 and are on say for example season 1 eposide 4 if you then go to playlist 2 to watch it it takes you to exactly where you where in playlist 1....hope that's explained correctly lol

@Jporch316 

 

Love Island now happily moved over to her playlist 😎

 

Playlist are really easy to setup and add shows to them. What will be frustrating for some though (and to answer your question above), shows don't start from their own individual points if you have them added over multiple playlists. So, it's a case of watching together if the household happens to watch the same show.

 

Thankfully, in this house, we have completely different tastes, so it doesn't matter too much for us.

If I’ve helped today, give me a like.

Sky Stream and whole home.

Makes it really obvious which shows refuse to delete from the playlist... F1 is now on mine only, but not the central playlist, and the other two are on no one's playlist... 😱
