I would like to see 2 kinds of bookmarks.
A recently watched list and a separate
bookmark list, each implemented as menu items (and an option to organize - edit name, position in file, and reposition in list)
I. "recently watched video" menu item, with N of the last videos and where in them you last watched them. (allow N to be a prefs item)
If you resume and/or change position in a video, then exit or stop etc. the last place in that video should replace this in the list. Probably the list should be ordered by last viewed, so if there's one at postion 5, say, and you resume it, watch another 5 minutes then stop, exit, or otherwise end watching this, the new video position should overwrite the old one AND the recently watch list would now have this video at the top.
Basically, I'm suggesting that this feature mimic most other programs recently opened file lists, except that a time is included. This way little or no documentation would be needed for the average computer user to "guess" how this works.
Also, the playback time should show up in the menu item,
eg.
Code: Select all
1. pirates of the Caribbean.mpg - 10:20
2. blah blah blah.wmv - 20:10
(note the column lineup of times to the longest menu item)
II. In a separate bookmark menu item, one could have say,
Code: Select all
1. pirates 20:20 (if only one bookmark)
2. blah blah .... (with a submenu if multiple bookmarks)
Then this last one, as a submenu, would just have video places in times, e.g. 10:00, 28:10 etc. One per subitem.
These would be added by a manual - add bookmark. It would check if the current video is on the list, and if so, add to the sub-menu for that video. Probably within this list, sort by time.
