Resume video/music playback on startup (like car-stereo's memory feature)

resume playback is highly desirable from where i'm sitting !

also a recently played files list...so i know what episode i left those damn futuramas at.

i've set up my xbox in my car as the center of my stereo. one thing i really miss about my cars normal mp3 cd player is the resume feture, which starts a mp3 from the exact point where it left off when you shut off the car. would this be possible in xbmc? i imagine it would be farily complicated....

i would like to have a simple pop up after pressing "b" when watching a video. instead of just exiting, the pop-up would ask 3 options:

bookmark | exit | resume


the problem is that i seem to always loose my place after clicking b...
if there is already an option, please let me know.

it's a reasonable idea, but i think that it can be enhanced somewhat. eg there's nothing stopping xbmc always saving the last position of the film - that way you don't need to explicitly do so. then a button on the osd for resume from last saved position would do the trick.

any other ideas?

yes that sounds good.
so after exiting w/ b, and you scroll thru the list of movies, there will be a 'greyed out' button that becomes active if there's an auto bookmark.
simple, i like it.

added to cvs

cool feature... cannot wait to use!!!

nice feature thanks jmarshall.

quick note :

if you have a xvid file with an mp3 soundtrack and its not enabled in the osd then this feature does not work as the counter stays at 0:00:00

the audio stream bug has been around a while now but i fixed by manually selecting it then the database remembers.



not a major issue and quite difficult to explain as i guess it would have been mentioned before otherwise.

i've compiled the latest cvs but this feature doesn't work for me. the "resume video" option is always disabled.

i've deleted the video database but the problem is still there.

do you have sound on the video as i stated above?

i don't think sample.avi does if its the clip i think it is...
