Yes that’s how that button is supposed to work, you can just press play in the normal widget and the app and the media session to resume the playlist.
Do you have some other special needs ?
I’ve got 5 playlists for music and one for audiobooks using shortcuts on my homescreen.
I’d like to press the music ones to play my music without resuming while the audiobook one to resume my last played audiobook
You are supposed to use media queues for that so that it also restore other settings like playback speed and pitch and everything.
But this is more a feature request to create a resume playlist shortcut then.
Thing is audiobook resuming is incosistent. Even when started from a playlist within the app it will not resume. Only by using their own menu.
It shouldn’t matter where you start the audiobook from. Those should always resume instead of play from beginning.
There’s no concept of audio books in the apps, so you need to actually tell the app what you want to do, resuming or playing.
Anyway I’ve added a new shortcut type to resume playlists.
