New Feature request?
Posted: 20 Jan 2011 22:03
I have searched the forums a few times but couldn't find anything of a similar nature to my suggestion, maybe i just couldn't think of the proper terminology and failed miserably.
I am a long term user of VLC and find the programme to be one of the most used prog's on both my laptop and my desktop PC, thanks for such an amazing piece of open source.
Anyways here goes with my suggestion, hoping that i am posting this new feature request in the correct parts of the forums, i made an account here just to post this suggestion, I only wish i was capable enough to do it myself.
I play videos on the Playstation 3 on a regular basis and love the feature they have on that, that allows you to pick up and play an unfinished file from the place it was when it stopped. This allows me to watch half an AVI or MPEG file, press stop, turn off and then return at any time to finish watching from where i was. This is all good and well but wouldn't it be an excellent feature to add to everyones favourite media player? Just have the option to save the current playpoint in one of the menus, the video menu or right click menu? Just save the current video timepoint to a textfile in the installation directory that offers to play from the start of the tagged video file or from the temporarily tagged timepoint, after which the tagged point would be deleted until the next time there is a tag requested. If there is a way to do this already please tell me, even though i don't know anything about using the VLC console.
