At some point I might find the time to add this, but I'll be honest, I really only personally care about the anti-crash aspects of the addon.
...But would more than happily accept a PR. As context - I didn't write this as such, just updated it to keep it going, and am absolutely not in love with how it works. If someone wants to pull out the resumption code from that addon, and add it to this, that would be ok (although I don't think official Kodi addons are allowed to write to the DB like that, so would need to store the data in a file, most likely...so it's a bit more complicated) - I'd be willing to help guide a PR and help then get it into the main Kodi repo.

I'm using kodi-20230228-340e3edd-master-arm64-v8a.apk on Nvidia Shield 2019.
And this does not seem to update with new resume times in my file.
I have a movie I've been watching, it saved the first time but even after watching for 30 mins or so, it does not add any new time to the file so it starts over at the first saved time and I have to skip forwards manually.
Request: It should auto update the resume time everytime a movie is paused. I notice that I often pause a movie to do something and then after some time the screen saver kicks in and ultimately the TV shuts down after 20 min. And no resume time has been saved.

Hello. I want to save a movie "resume point" in my hard disk in the router to resume from other device in the same network. ¿How?
Regards from Uruguay

I really must be missing something - what 'lack of resume updates'? The add-on is working fine across multiple CoreElec and Windows installations, for me at least. (I'm also using a MySQL DB).
If there is an issue, then please actually post a debug log of it happening. In a debug log, you will usually see the add-on both setting resume points and then also querying the DB for them to make sure they are being set (and if you don't, even better, because then I'd have some vague starting point to work from!).
More than happy to fix things, if someone can actually demonstrate an issue and provide logs.

Well that's certainly thorough - thanks!
It's odd I have never seen that - never seen any video with a resume point then start at the beginning like that. Very weird. I've tested it here and can't get it to repeat that behaviour, so feels like something else/more is going on. I don't really like not understanding the issue or being able to replicate it...
On the flipside, I can't really see why having the total seconds in there would actually cause any issues (and would appear to be part of the original intent for the resume points) - so might as well try adding it, given it solves this mystery thing for you!

I don't believe Kodi can save a resume point for a non library item, sorry.
I suppose one could create a mechanism for it even so (save the restore point to a file rather than the Kodi library db) - and then seek to that spot on the start of playback.
Maybe open an issue on github so I don't forget about it, but no time at present to work on it, and no one else has asked before I think, so not sure it's a much needed feature (why use Kodi if not the library, basically...)
