[Feature Request] Add an option to remember playback position

Open Lastique opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

Please, add an option to remember last playback position (time) for a particular file or stream. This is useful to be able to continue watching a lengthy video where I last stopped.

Currently playback position is stored only for last played file (to continue playback after close).

Similar/the same as #127 (but this issue exactly explains what is needed), right?

It doesn't remember the position for streams (e.g. Youtube streams).

I guess so. I'm watching some multi-hour streams on Youtube and other websites and I'm not always able to watch them in full. Resuming playback later from the same position is very helpful in this case.

Did you checked this: screenshot_20180303_222418

And is the youtube stream seekable?

Yes.

I didn't and at first I didn't see this option, sorry. However, it doesn't seem to save the position when I stop the stream. Only if I pause the stream or close while playing. And when I restart QMPlay2 it automatically starts playing even when it normally doesn't.

I'm quite used to how it works in SMPlayer. It remembers position in a number of files/streams and it saves the position even when I stop the playback. When I restart SMPlayer it doesn't start playback automatically but when I press play it starts playback from the remembered position.

Yes, it is that option (I like this behavior).

When I restart SMPlayer it doesn't start playback automatically but when I press play it starts playback from the remembered position.

This is other option which doesn't exist in QMPlay2. Will be in the future :)
