 - **Emby viewing history and resume points:** the test reports nothing to Emby (`reportPlayback = false`, under test). This wasn't read back from the Emby server.

 ## Order
 
-1. Your check of how the subtitles look on screen, from the 0.99.15 test.
+1. Done: Paul confirmed the subtitles on screen at 15:17.
 2. Approve D2 and D1, separately. I'd build D2 first. It's small, and it's needed before Beerus airs.
 3. Install both before about 14 November. Then verify the 21 November booking on the box once it appears, about 15 November.
