Hi all, I made a script that makes VLC remember the last play position on every file it plays. The only quirk is you have to activate it each time in the View menu.

This script works for me on Windows XP, but I had to alter the script a bit to use a different path for "pos.txt" file. There is a problem how VLC handles paths. UTF-8 path does not match ANSI Windos-1250 codepage of my Windows XP. There is one non-English character in the vlc.misc.userdatadir() path causing troubles. VLC should automatically convert all input/output stuff between UTF-8 and native codepage of OS.
