The obvious problem with this, of course, is that you’re fettered to version 2.0 and 2.1. There’s also a different extension called Remember position which accomplishes the same feat however, it’s beleaguered by the same problem as it peer: you need to be on an antiquated VLC version. If you’re running VLC Player version 2.0 or 2.1, you can install a VLC Plugin called srpos that adds a new “ Save/restore position of the last played files” option in Preferences under Interface. Yes, there is a workaround but my answer is qualified. (meaning it has a proviso attached) So what’s the workaround? Is there a workaround? A quasi-solution The current version of VLC Player is version 2.1.5, but it still doesn’t allow you save the playback position.
In other words, the player will remember the playback position usually saving it on exit. Most video players automatically save and restore the position of the last played meda file. I rhapsodized about VLC Player in a previous post but there still one little thing that wants to curtail my gushing… On the contrary, it plays almost any video format I can throw at it and is chock-full with options. It doesn’t sully my playback experience with silly plugins.
