Play button on thumbnail starts at show's pilot

[martijnvankekem]

Describe the bug

When clicking the play button of a TV Show a user has already started watching, Jellyfin will start playing from the beginning instead of playing the episode the user is currently at.

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Debian
• Virtualization: None, service
• Clients: Browser
• Browser: Chrome Version 84.0.4147.89 (Official build) (64-bits)
• Jellyfin Version: 10.6.0
• Playback: Transcode

To Reproduce

1. Go to TV Show library.
2. Click on the play button that appears when hovering over a TV show the user has already started.
3. Jellyfin will start playing the first episode of the first season, instead of the episode the user is currently at.

Expected behavior

Jellyfin should continue playing the next not-watched episode for that specific user.

Any update on this by any chance?

TV Show has Type: "Series", but we don't have a branch for it, and it is handled as a folder

jellyfin-web/src/components/playback/playbackmanager.js

Lines 1827 to 1834 in 051ee14

	promise = getItemsForPlayback(serverId, mergePlaybackQueries({
	ParentId: firstItem.Id,
	Filters: 'IsNotFolder',
	Recursive: true,
	// These are pre-sorted
	SortBy: options.shuffle ? 'Random' : (['BoxSet'].indexOf(firstItem.Type) === -1 ? 'SortName' : null),
	MediaTypes: 'Audio,Video'
	}, queryOptions));

We get all episodes ignoring "watched" status.

I would also be happy if the "first unseen" episode starts instead of the very first one
