Continue (recording) hardly ever works?

[Bill1968]

Why when I'm watching a series on record (Only Fools and Horses, for instance) does the 'Continue' feature hardly ever work? If I've watched, for instance, episode 3 of series 2, going to Recordings > Continue should bring up episode 4 of series 2. But rarely is this ever the case. More often than not the system will just pick a (seemingly) random episode.

Hi @Bill1968 

The Continue option is normally used to pick up previously part watched Recordings.

I (& think some others likewise) have usually found the Recordings - Continue Section to be very unreliable. 

I have known it to point to the next episode for episodes I have not completed and for others point to episodes I have completely watched and deleted !

My advice is do not use this section unless you really know it points to the correct episode.

Also I  recommend using the buttons above epiodes in the Most Recent' section with great caution also - they in particular seem to point to the next episode when near (but not at) the end of an episode  - I advise always using the buttons below the episodes instead  even though it is more key presses

Hi, thanks for the answer. I did wonder this, but this method does (occasionally) select the following episode, so I assumed this was the intention.

Thank you. Glad it's not just me then.

You have to hit the quote button otherwise the forum gives no clue what you were replying to.

Rubbish, isn't it.

Yours were obvious from context luckily 🙂
