What is the current bug behavior?

Audiobook always starts at the beginning regardless of previous elapsed time listened.

Roku has supported this since version 3.0.0. Have you confirmed your "other client" is setting the playback resume point? If you bring up the book in the web client, does it start from your expected resume point?

Roku has supported this since version 3.0.0. Have you confirmed your
"other client" is setting the playback resume point? If you bring up the
book in the web client, does it start from your expected resume point?
