Abstract
The systems and methods disclosed herein provide media guidance in relation to previously-viewed media assets. A request from a user to access a source by which a media asset is currently being transmitted to a plurality of users is received. In response to accessing the source by which the media asset is currently being transmitted, a viewing history associated with the user is accessed to determine whether the media asset has previously been viewed by the user. Responsive to determining that the media asset has previously been viewed by the user, a first play position, at which the user previously stopped viewing the media asset is identified. A transport bar is generated for display by the systems and methods, including a first time indicator corresponding to the first play position, and a second time indicator corresponding to a portion of the media asset currently being transmitted by the source.
