The Roku version of the HBO Max app has had issues for a long time. If you watch something for awhile, then hit the up-arrow to pop up the timebar, you will see it actually jump to where you are in the program. It basically is not always keeping track of it's location in the background. What I have found that helps if you want to stop in the middle of something is to hit up-arrow first to update the time bar, then hit pause, then exit out.
I will try this, thank you. Seems like the first reasonable response on this thread. I have tried watching all the way through to the end of the credits, that also seems to work usually but still sometimes it seems to forget the viewing of an entire episode. Seems like kind of a key piece of a streaming app to be so unreliable.
