Re: Max App pause and playback issue
I had another app I couldn't remove until the cancellation date happened (it was one I had subscribed directly from Roku). With Max I could remove & add again. Tried it but it didn't fix it. Worth the try though.

Re: Max App pause and playback issue
Just a single data point here. I just tried MAX on my Ultra 4800, and had no problem with resuming a previously paused movie. It started back up exactly where I had stopped it. When you report your issue to Roku, make sure you provide your exact model player (by model number, not name) in case the problem is specific to only certain players.

Re: Max App pause and playback issue
Yes! This exact thing has been happening to me. And this is only one of several bugs I encounter with the Max app.
I hit a bug the other day where I couldn't see what I had selected in the menu, only to realize the cursor/highlighted items was off screen.
I've also had issues with subtitles not displaying. When this happens I have to restart the app

Re: Max App pause and playback issue
In addition to the information I posted above, also note the issue occurs randomly - i.e. will not occur every single time a program is paused. When it does occur, pressing the pause/resume button to resume will result in jumping back to an earlier part of the program.
