RiffTrax on Roku: Resume Mostly Doesn't Work

I've been watching the RiffTrax channel on Roku, and it's struggling to remember where I left off on any shows.  If I quit say 20 minutes in and come back, it will usually remember, but then if I quit again, say 50 minutes in, and come back the next day it will resume from the 20 minute mark.  (Numbers are just examples and not specifically relevant.)  I could also swear that once the second quit time was remembered, but when I quit a third time then went back it resumed at the first quit point, so it not only failed to remember where I quit but it reverted to the previous time.  (I tend to watch shows in short chunks because I presently don't have a lot of free time to sit and watch TV, or when I do I might be watching something like Breeders 2 when my kids come along so I switch over to something more kid-friendly.)

I've tried pausing and slowly backing out all the way to the main Roku screen, but it doesn't help; it's just random chance on the rare occasions that "resume" actually remembers where I left off.

I've been having this problem on my Roku device as well.

Not sure. I think we have the frequency of "Push" updates to be 5 minutes, but that doesn't explain the 30 minutes you lost.

Right now we are focusing our energy on the new apps which will fully utilize the website for things like that, so I don't expect this problem to occur in that, but I'll also see if our current developers can investigate and try to repro the issue.

Sorry for any trouble it's causing!
