User level: Level 1 (34 points)Apple TV Home Sharing when watching on an iPad M4 (iPadOS 27.2) is not updating the last watched point in a movie or TV show. This works correctly when the Home Sharing client is a MacBook (MacOS 27.2) or Apple TV hardware (tvOS 27.0). The Apple Home Sharing media server is on a MacMini M4 (MacOS 26.6.2).

Check that Use Play History is enabled on the iPad under Settings > Apps > TV. If it is already on, sign out of Home Sharing on the iPad and sign back in, then test whether a short playback updates. Since the Mac and Apple TV clients work, this may be specific to the iPad TV app.

Use Play History was enabled and I tried one more time logging out of Home Sharing and back in but no change. Both the MBP and Apple TV read and update the last play location. Both my iPads will read the last play locations (set by the MBP or AppleTV) but neither will update the play location. Is this working for anyone else?
