I have a Sony KD55X7000D Android TV and have installed Kodi from the Play Store. I'm running the latest Android release (v8.00) available for the TV and the latest Kodi version. I have an external 4TB HDD (exfat format) with my video content plugged in via USB.In general, everything works well, but I do a couple of annoyances that I'm hoping someone can help out with.The watched status of a video does not get permanently recorded. If I watch a video, I can see that it is flagged as watched, but whenever I soft power cycle the TV (not a hard restart but just from on to standby back to on), the watched status is now showing unwatched.The ability to stop watching a video and resume from where I left off at a later time, only works until I soft power cycle the TV. After that, when I restart and go back into Kodi, it still shows the video file I was watching. When I try to play that, it offers to resume from where I left off or from the start. If I select either of these options, it doesn't actually play. I have to select back from that screen, then Kodi takes me back to the top of Files screen rather than sequentially back up the folder structure, where I can re-select my external drive and re-work my way down through the folder hierarchy again to my wanted video file, but there is no longer any option to resume from where I left off.I've not made the external HDD read only or any locked down permissions, so not sure why the watched status can't be made permanent.It seems that every time I soft power cycle my TV, Kodi seems to "rediscover" my external HDD and any old internal device mapping links in the Kodi memory no longer work.
