It is "recently played items" related feature built into VLC. If you play one of the recently played media file, then the [Continue] button should appear on the screen for a while.Feature added to VLC nightlies!
I'm happy to inform users that this feature has been added to the latest nightlies of VLC 2.2.0-rc2. I have tested it on the Intel-based Mac version and it works quite well, media will resume where you left it off. However, since it's still beta, it's not 100%. It won't resume if you only watched the first few seconds of a video and it won't resume if you were on the last few seconds of a video. Please confirm.
Did you try it the way I described in my post above, too? FYI: I'm still using Windows XP Professional (32 bit) and installed VLC v2.2.0 over an already installed older version of it without any problem on all my computers.The remember position/resume playback feature of version 2.2.0 is not working for me either on two different Windows PC's. Both running Windows 7. One has the x32 version of VLC 2.2.0 running the other the x64 version of VLC 2.2.0 running. When VLC 2.2.0 installed on both PC's yesterday it "upgraded" the existing installation. Neither prior version of VLC on these two PC's indicated there was an upgrade when running Help -> Check Upgrade to get the 2.2.0 version. Both older versions indicated they were up to date.
Have tried starting media (all MP4 video files) from a variety of different ways, VLC 2.2.0 on both PC's always starts at the beginning. No dialog box/window is seen asking to resume position or resume playback.
Of course. Tried the following ways:Did you try it the way I described in my post above, too? FYI: I'm still using Windows XP Professional (32 bit) and installed VLC v2.2.0 over an already installed older version of it without any problem on all my computers.
EDIT: After some testing for a while, it seems that the method described above is not reliable, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't; starting a video from the "Recent items" ALWAYS works, though. But sorry, to me that's much too complicated
Okay, then I would assume it's OS related, if you play one of the recently played media files under Windows XP, then the "Resume playback" option definitely appears in a box on top of the screen for a while. But for me that's not the preferred way I'm viewing videos...Tried the following ways:
...
[*]Open VLC choose Open Recent Media and select file.
...
None of those ways worked. The video files (tried multiple video files) always starts at the beginning.
1) file a bugreport- add an option to make "Resume from last position" the default behaviour
- add a customizable duration for the pop-up dialog box
- add a customizable hotkey for "Resume from last position"
- add a command line option for "Resume from last position"
Furthermore, it would be great if "Resume from last position" could work even when the media player is started from the command line with the following options:
--fullscreen --overlay --video-on-top --vout directx --intf dummy --dummy-quiet
(that is the way I'm particularly using it with the remote control in my media center environment)
