Solving playback issues

[smt0300]

Hello - is there a setting or function I can utilize that will allow Roku to remember my playback position? I watch news shows on Rumble and have two young kids. If one of them interrupts and I have to turn the stream off, when I log back on later and select the same episode, it starts over from the beginning.

@smt0300 Remembering playback position is something that can only be done within the channel you're watching. I'm not familiar with Rumble, but if it's a stand-alone channel, you would need to ask the channel developer to add such a function. The Roku player can't control the way a particular channel functions internally. I searched the channel store for Rumble, and it is offered by Rumble Inc, so only they can alter the way the channel works.

As a daily user of Rumble, I sympathize with you on this one.  Best I can offer is to press "Pause" on your remote (which will bring up the playback overlay) and note the time played, or time remaining.  Then fast-forward back to that spot when you resume viewing later.

Many times I start watching a stream on Rumble in one room, and then have to resume in another.  Becomes second nature to just hit pause and note the time after a while before switching between devices/tvs.

Are those videos are longer than 15 minutes?  If so, I'd say Rumble is violating certification requirements.

"Channels must implement bookmarking in VOD content that is longer that 15 minutes to pass certification."
