Is it possible to make VLC save the last position automatically you have viewed on a video when closing VLC?

VLC Extension script: Remember position; "mempos.lua"

Many thanks.

Installation (in ubuntu):
1. Install by copy/pasting the below code to the file ~/.local/share/vlc/extensions/mempos.lua
2. Restart VLC and check the menu item View->Remember position

I am not able to manage this, I do not have such a folder like "extension" and cannot find "mempos.lua".

You can read proper installation instructions for different operating systems for example here:
http://addons.videolan.org/content/show ... ent=149618

So copy the code from the webpage without that mess

<="" end="" lastsavepos="elapsed_time;" pre="" savedb();="" then="">

at the end and put it in a text file and name it "mempos.lua". Put the file in "\lua\extensions\" directory. If "extensions" folder does not exists, then create it there. Start VLC and now you should find the available extension in VLC menu: View > Remember position

Many thanks, mederi,

It works now, thanks to your helpful explanations and links.

Many thanks again.

Running vlc 2.1.4 win7/64 bit. I can install the extension and "remember position" appears in my "view" menu, but the menu item is inoperative. No check mark appears when I select it. The debug console says:
Any ideas how to troubleshoot?

The extension does not work in VLC-2.1.x
