About GetPlayPosition

A recently introduced feature for the ReplayTV 5.0 OS is the ability to resume playback of a show from any networked ReplayTV DVR.

What facilitates this is the get_play_position command.

Anytime the "Play" option is selected, this request is sent to each known ReplayTV DVR on the network. If one or more positive responses are returned a popup window appears allowing you to resume your spot per any of the DVRs that replied positively.

Please note that Play from Beginning and Save to VCR do not send this command and do not have the resume ability.

n_gop_pos Answer to the get_play_position question. Can be 0x0 or a positive number (eg. 0x203C)

The response for gop_pos is a non-zero number for a resuming point (postive reply) or 0x0 if a resume point is not known on that DVR.
