I tried this but using two servers means you lose or fragment all your watch history. If I have to remember where I am in a series myself, I might as well just use VLC.
what are you referring to?
There was something that worked, going forward the core team decided to focus on a tight stream lined core and decruft 'features'.

Seems like a temporary (indefinite) suspension and a storm in a teacup from those attached to the feature.
There is one big exception though: if you're watching Star Trek: Enterprise. The "skip intro" feature is invaluable so you don't have to be subjected to that truly horrific opening song.
