@lemmy.worldClicking "Continue Watching" seems to just put you back on the root show listing. As far as I can tell, there's no way to pick up where you left off in a collection/playlist unless you navigate to the collection/playlist and manually start the next episode.
This is a great trick, but unfortunately it's only really helpful for viewing the correct play order and not actually watching it (at least with the play queue). What I mean is that "Continue Watching" doesn't respect that you started watching a collection or playlist, so if you watch one episode of a collection/playlist then start watching the second from "Continue Watching" the play queue will just be that episode's series play order and not the collection/playlist play order. If you start playing a playlist/collection from the play button of that playlist/collection, it will have the correct play queue, but if you start an episode from a collection from the episode list the play queue will just be that series' play order not the collection play order. Playlists do actually play in the correct order if you manually select an episode, though they don't actually show which ones you've watched.
It seems the only way to actually watch them in order consistently is to go back to the Collection every time and manually select the next episode instead of trusting the play queue.
