Kodi does not resume playback and starts form beginning topic

I've been trying hard to figure out what may be causing this anomaly. When I play a file, the file plays fine but if I stop the video, the file won't resume. It will start from beginning. In Video Settings, there is a default select action. I've tried toggling from play to choose to resume but that too does not help. Any insights please. The kodi version I'm on is:
