I have 2 problems with the resume playback feature ( closing a video file and when reopening it getting a prompt to resume from where I left of)

1st problem - It only saves the position if I am 10% past the beggining of a video and before 10% of the end, in other words if I am watching a file that is 8hours long and I close it before the 20min mark it doesn't save my position. In the same way, if I am past the 7h40min mark it also won't save.

2nd problem - After some time without opening the file the save point is lost. I am not sure but this is possibly caused because it only saves playback positions from the 10 files that are in the "recently viewed" menu drop down, so if I watch a lot of episodes and want to come back to a big vod that I watched till midway my position will have been lost. Not sure if that is the reason but at any rate after sometime of not opening the file the save is lost.

Is there any settings or another way to fix these 2 problems?

Thanks in advance!

It will not save after 95% of the duration

Hi,
the recent list size is limited to 30, this is not editable.
You can't edit as well 95% limit.

It's been a while and it does not seem like vlc 4.0 is going to be released any time soon. It's not challenging to change the limit to 256 or even 65536. Is there a technical reason as to why the limit is so low, when you consider that hdd space is in the gigabytes now even on phones. At 65536 files, the conf size will maybe become 10MB, which sounds like a fair tradeoff.
