We only have local rips stored on a Synology. With an old Raspbery Pi running Emby server. MrMC plays everything back flawlessly. Subtitles can be enabled really easily on the Siri remote, and scrubbing the timeline is a piece of cake. This is the last piece of the puzzle to remove the Odroid running LibreELEC (and place that in another room). Having one device handle local media as well as Netflix, iPlayer, ITV Hub etc. is awesome (and has been my an aim I've failed at for years).
The main feature I'd like to get working is the In Progress Shelf, not my screenshot but this is what I'd like:

Important for the WAF mostly.
Currently all that shows there for me is Recently Added. I've tried playing a few TV show episodes fully, and still nothing. Is this because I'm using an Emby backend? Or am I missing a setting?
Thanks.
EDIT I signed in to Emby with the PIN option within MrMC.
