While I like the ability [for bookmarked content] to play all, there is clearly an automated stop/navigate/play "macro" involved that is a much rougher process than I would prefer (takes more time, resets audio options to player-defaults, audio/video/control dropout, etc.) Could there be some logic added to the system, such as that when timecodes between stop & start are proximate, that it just lets sequential content progress natively?
This doesn't just happen with TV content (depending on the material I usually opt to play from disc these days to avoid the issue) or on a Premiere, so it is still a relevant project in a post-Premiere world. I was rather surprised to encounter the problem running through the extras on the download of Frozen II, where the first few seconds of introducing the scenes would get cut-off, but discovered that I could rewind to the end of previous clip and then let it get a running start into the one I was trying to watch. Not having to fight the system would be greatly preferred.
