Feature Enhancements Questions. Game listings and period markers

Hi, I wanted to know what you thought of these 2 potential enhancements and if you'd accept a pull request for them.

Game listing

Today, a game listing starts at a game, then there are 2-3 dialogs to get the playable stream.

I was thinking of moving the dialogs to "directories" and having the final selection be the list item to simplify the URL that Kodi stores as the "playable item". Today, it isn't consistent because it includes text (summary), which means that if you exit and come back, the URL can change (especially the day of), which means that the "resume" function doesn't get invoked. This would also end up having the "watched / Not watched" markers be consistent.

The downside is that if you wanted to switch the resume point between various feeds (National vs local), they wouldn't carry through, but since it doesn't work well now, this seems like a small downside.

Period Markers / Chapters

I've been curious to add the Period support so that instead of skipping forward 18 minutes, you can simply skip to the to the beginning of the next period. I'll honor the "no spoiler" and hide the beginning of overtime if spoilers are disabled.

Re implementation, i was thinking of using Bookmarks, but it's not well supported. I need to experiment with various features to find the right way to do this, but it's definitely possible.
