    This is a recent thing caused by the changes YT has been making, at the moment we’ve been given multiple quick fixes while the community continues to investigate AFAIK

      By the language you used it sounds like you’re involved with the project, so thank you!

      If it helps at all I’ve been experiencing this issue for probably 6 months or more. I’ve just gotten into the habit of adding videos to playlists and closing the video after i know it has been paused for a while. If I open it again from the playlist it picks back up where I was.

      Also oddly enough if it skips to the end and I let it go to the next video (not in playlist, but whatever it would have played next) then I hit “back” it will (usually? I haven’t tried too many times) pick up where it should have been from when I paused it.

      Edit: actually nevermind “we’ve been given fixes” would imply you’re one of us plebs! Thanks for the info anyway lol
