Continue Watching: Resume Any Title in One Button

Stopping is not quitting. Vodlix remembers the exact position and offers Resume on the next screen a viewer opens, with time left shown.

The First Two Minutes Decide Whether a Viewer Returns

Vodlix continue watching is built on the understanding that stopping is not quitting. A viewer who stopped forty minutes into a film has not rejected it; they ran out of evening. The next time they open the service decides whether the title gets finished or forgotten, and those first two minutes matter more than any recommendation. Vodlix makes finishing the easy option. For OTT operators, continue watching is a direct lever on completion rates and retention.

One Resume Button in the First Place They Look

The Vodlix continue watching rail removes the friction from returning. Every in progress title appears in one row on the home screen, each card with a progress bar and, for a series, the episode it will resume, such as S1 E3. One button resumes at the exact second they stopped. There is no remembering which episode, no finding the title again and no scrubbing to the right point. When a title is finished it leaves the row on its own, and the next episode of a series takes its place, ready to play from the start.

Restart From the Beginning When They Want To

Vodlix places Play From Beginning right beside Resume in the menu on every card in the continue watching rail, so viewers who want to start a title again can do so without hunting for the option. Sometimes a viewer wants to rewatch the opening, share a film with someone new or restart after a long gap. The rail serves both intentions equally, and the same menu removes a title from the row. Offering restart alongside resume respects the viewer's choice rather than assuming it.


The Same Continue Watching Rail on Every Screen

Playback position in Vodlix belongs to the viewer's profile, not the device, so the continue watching rail is the same wherever that viewer opens the service next. A film paused on the television appears at the same position on a phone, a tablet or the web. Cross device continuity means the viewer's session is never tied to one screen. The same rail everywhere is what makes continue watching reliable enough for viewers to depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about taking advantage of this limited-time offer? Check out the FAQ for answers.

What is Continue Watching on Vodlix?
Vodlix Continue Watching is a home screen rail that resurfaces every partly watched title with a progress bar and a Resume button that returns the viewer to the exact second they stopped.
Does Continue Watching show how much time is left?
Yes. Each in progress title in the Vodlix Continue Watching rail shows a progress bar, and its More Info panel shows the time remaining beside the Resume button, so the viewer knows what finishing it will take.
Can a viewer start a title over instead of resuming?
Yes. Every card in the Vodlix Continue Watching rail has a menu with Play From Beginning directly beside Resume, so restarting is as easy as continuing.
Does Continue Watching work across devices?
Yes. Playback position on Vodlix belongs to the viewer's profile rather than the device, so the Continue Watching rail is identical on a phone, television or the web.
How is Continue Watching different from Watch History?
Vodlix Continue Watching is the on screen rail for resuming in progress titles quickly. Vodlix Watch History is the viewer's full, manageable record of everything they have watched.
Can viewers remove something from Continue Watching?
Yes, title by title. Each card's menu has Remove From Continue Watching. It costs nothing to offer and viewers appreciate it, particularly when a title was started by mistake or abandoned for good and should stop asking to be finished.
Does each profile keep its own position?
Positions belong to the viewer rather than being pooled across a household, which is the reason profiles exist at all. A family sharing one subscription should not be sharing one place in a series.
Does continue watching work for live content?
Resume applies to on demand titles, where there is a fixed position to return to. Live channels work differently, and catching up on something already broadcast is handled by recording, which is described under network DVR rather than here.
When does a title leave Continue Watching?
When the viewer passes the watched percentage or the seconds remaining mark set in Settings, such as 98 percent or 60 seconds left, whichever lands later. A finished episode can be replaced by the next one, ready to play from the start, and progress is kept for the number of days the operator chooses, counted from the last time the title was watched.
