Identify a part boundary rather than a new episode
Keep the selected programme title, date and any part information visible on the page. TG4’s explanation addresses recorded live programmes, whose parts are intended to continue consecutively. It does not establish that every drama episode or boxset entry is one section of a larger continuous recording.
If an advert appears after a section, note whether the programme title and play line remain the same. An illustrative viewer might mistake this for the player starting unrelated content, but the documented multipart structure offers another possibility. Preserve the observed boundary before using a back button that may leave the intended programme entirely.
Check what follows on the same play line
TG4 says the next part follows immediately at the end of each part, with possible pre-roll in between. Let the ordinary player sequence continue if you intend to keep watching, then identify the content that actually follows. The FAQ describes expected behaviour rather than proving that a particular session has all parts available.
If the programme resumes, keep its new position and section in your viewing note. If it stops or shows an error instead, record that outcome at the boundary. A repeated advert alone does not establish that playback has looped back to the beginning; compare the programme material before and after it.
Reference the complete recording accurately
When sharing a useful passage, include the programme date, section and position that locate it reliably. A time measured from the start of one part may not equal the same position in a full combined presentation. Do not describe the running time of the first part as the duration of the entire live event.
For a missing continuation, report the last audible or visible passage, the boundary and any message shown. Keep the issue specific to that selected recording. TG4’s general FAQ contains older platform advice elsewhere; this workflow uses only its stated programme-part mechanism and does not infer current browser requirements, download rights or a universal rule for every item in the redesigned service.
