VLC team,

I've made a bash script (includes instructions on use) that adds an "auto resume" feature to VLC. FWIW this was done fairly quickly and so it's not the most polished code.

https://github.com/vaughnanderson/VLC-R ... _resume.sh

This is the one feature I'd like VLC to have built into it, but I don't have the time to dig into VLC itself to add this. It seems other people also want this feature as well. I am certain there is a better way to script this, but it works well for now and my time is limited.

After writing this script, it seems this functionality may be fairly simple to add to the core of VLC.

Thanks!

It works! However I had to install netcat-openbsd for Debian Wheezy because the default netcat does not support 'nc -U'. I also modified the resume directory to $HOME/.vlcresume, since my /tmp directory is always cleared at boot. All in all, thanks!

why isnt this code added to vlc and just improved on
