User level: Level 1 (86 points)Since updating to Golden Gate, the TV app on my MBP will not remember playback position, will not remember window size, and will not mark a TV episode as watched.
I have logged out and then back in, I have done all of the recommended tricks to force the window size to be remembered, and I have deleted the preference files and then rebooted my Mac.
Nothing solves these issues.

Sadly I have had to go back, my issues with Apple TV on golden gate mac mini were too much and it made my purpose of the mac mini (TV server so to speak) completely broken. I downgraded the Mac to my previous system and its fixed. Guess I learned Golden gate wasnt fit for my purpose.

You all need to give Apple feedback. They don't read posts here so the more people who give feedback the more likely Apple are to look at it.

What's interesting (cough, cough) is the iOS app is NOT broken in the sense that if I watch a partial episode on my iPhone, the Golden Gate app is automatically synced to that place in the episode. But it doesn't work in reverse.

We have noticed a big flaw for our use on apple TV, We use a mac mini to use as our TV in our bedroom and we set playlists of our favorite shows to fall asleep watching. (I have severe night terrors and need the TV on all night on familiar shows to help reduce the amount of these night terrors so we set playlists to go all night) The playlist is not continuing all night since updating to golden gate, the playlist is stopping on every single playlists we make after a few episodes. Its no longer fit for purpose that we got it for. Its getting to the point that we may have to find an alternative to apple TV if this doesnt get fixed soon.

It has also started auto-playing the next show in my Downloaded folder, and there's no longer a setting to turn that off either. Just bad all around.

Right, when I use my AppleTV to watch downloaded video it does update the watched status and remembers where I left off. But as you say, not in reverse.

Similar problems. Also, I can't bring any window on top of Apple TV app. I have to minimize the app using the - button in the top left corner if I want to do anything else.
