This is Disney+ but nearly every time. Moved from the living room to bedroom and had to seek to get back to where we were just last night

I bet it saves them some server $. Probably keep more data client-side and batching to server.

This is Paramount+ as well pretty much every time, and, and!

After every ad break, the video rewinds to the start of the block before the ad break. So I have to fast forward to the ad break marker.

And people wonder why we pirate :-)

I kinda wonder if it's a tracking endpoint my Pihole and/or Firefox privacy blockers are messing with.

I've found actively pausing a video before exiting seems to improve the accuracy of the resume point.

I'm presuming this is because it fires a beacon on pause, but only every X (10?, 30?) seconds on playback.

Not had many issues with it completely forgetting where I am though (it does sometimes get confused as to which episode I watched last though).

I watch Netflix regularly and never had this issue. I wonder if it is your client? I use an Nvidia Shield(Android TV).

Possibly. I use my iPad for netflix.
