I'm probably doing something stupid, but on I can't seem to get the "Resume playback where you left off." feature to work on Windows. Is there an option somewhere I need to enable?
Should be enabled by default. Just seek within a video file to any position that is not at the very beginning or the end and close VLC. Once you play that file again it should prompt you to resume the playback.
EDIT: of course this doesn't apply to streams or non-seekable files
This only appears to be working for me (Windows) if the file has been opened once via the Media -> Open File menu. Opening a file by double clicking means that it doesn't appear, unless it has already been opened once with the menu.
Weird... after I opened a file using the "Media->Open File" menu item, it started appearing. (It now works even in cases where I open a file by double-clicking on it. Strange)
The only reason I downloaded it was for this feature. This dead simple feature which was available in 1976 (or whenever) when VHS came out. It should be in every digital player at version 1.0.
Very poor work. It's really spotty, and it shows up as a bar at the top of the window on seemingly random loads, about 10 percent of the time. Whatever video player VUZE uses works 100 percent of the time and doesn't stupidly ask you if you want to start at the last position. This seems like a feature that should take five minutes to implement and they managed to mess it up bad.
I agree. I actually rolled back to the previous version since there's an extension that works perfectly for this that is broken by the new version. Check it out:
