The Plex deep links will automatically resume.
TV shows are tricky. For that, I use the Plex integration of Home Assistant to play a random episode. It’s supposed to be super powerful, but I haven’t got it to work reliably yet (which is why I didn’t focus on TV Shows in the blog post).
And I’m wondering if these could be adjusted to have the card be “inserted” and turn off when the card is removed?
I have some nfc tags sitting around but they are much thicker. Maybe I can 3d print something those tags can click into and make like a mini vhs player for them
For audiobook that has been done: https://us.tonies.com/ The moment you lift the figure it stops playing and will resume, when you put it back. Nice concept for little kids and it went really well here in Germany. You will find a Toni box in most middle/upper class households. They are magnetic.
Does it resume from the last time they watched? Does it work with TV shows too and track which episode they are on?

Thank you, this gives me enough to start and play with.
My kiddo doesn’t really care too much about movies but loves TV shows. Maybe I solve it with a script if I can’t get the native plex link to work
This is going to be a good winter project for me

Love these ideas! Might make a V2!
