I am using Eden version 11.0 and would appreciate some thoughts on how to handle this. When I playback individual video files, the "resume playback" feature works great where if I playback some of the video file and then come back later, XBMC will prompt me to either resume playback from where I left off or start from the beginning.
I have a bunch of video playlist files (.m3u) to pull in some of my SageTV recordings w/ metadata, etc, when I play a playlist file through my library, it plays back fine, but the resume playback feature does not work. Every time I playback subsequent times, it always starts playback from the beginning and never prompts to resume from a specific time point.
Any thoughts on this? If it doesn't exist today, is there a process I can follow to add this as an enhancement request? This is a new process to me so appreciate your thoughts and guidance.

Moved thread to the "Feature request" subforum. Sounds cool to me :)

Is there any plan to implement this? The ability to resume an audio (or video) playlist would be very helpful for some particular types of setup - a music dedicated media center, for example.

I have been unable to get my resume point to work.
I changed it in the advanced settings file but it still only resumes if it has been 3+ minutes even though it is set to 0 seconds as the minimum resume time.
There is a single userdata folder on my computer for XBMC and it is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\userdata.
The content of the advanced settings file, named Advancedsettings.xml is:
<advancedsettings>
<videolibrary>
<video> <!-- "VideoSettings" instead of "video" for builds prior to May 22, 2006 -->
<subsdelayrange>10</subsdelayrange> <!-- Delay range for subtitles, in seconds. -->

</excludefromlisting>
<playcountminimumpercent>100</playcountminimumpercent> <!--Minimum percentage that has to be played before it is marked as watched. Set to 101 to never auto-mark items as watched -->
<ignoresecondsatstart>0</ignoresecondsatstart> <!-- Number of seconds to ignore at video start after which a resume point is created -->
<ignorepercentatend>0</ignorepercentatend>
<!-- percentage of video to ignore at the end. If you stop watching the video here no resume point is created. The video is already marked as watched at 90%, see above -->
</video> <!-- use "VideoSettings" instead of "video" for builds prior to May 22, 2006 -->
</advancedsettings>
Please tell me why this doesn't work and how I can fix it.

It doesn't sound like you are in the correct thread... If you are trying to resume playback on a playlist file, it won't work (which is what this thread is about). If you are trying to resume playback on just any given video file, please start a new thread in the general help forum.

+1,000,000,000 to be able to resume playlists so that the video in the playlist starts from the last point within the video where it stopped.
Currently if I am in the middle of video #3 in the playlist and quit at this point, then play the playlist again, it starts from the beginning of video #3 instead of starting from where I left off within video #3.
Kodi must also constantly (every 5 seconds or so?) keep track of the current video position - so that when it shuts off for whatever reason, the last position is known and can be started from there.
I just set this up so I can run kodi in my car and this feature would help tremendously.

I'm looking for exactly this - An option that would resume the playlist at the exact point it was left at. Would be perfect for creating your own TV channels out of playlist files!

I do love PseudoTV, but there are a lot of things it doesn't do as well as other addons (I prefer the TV Guide addon for it's background playing capabilities, easy ability to add/modify channels from Favorites, ect.)
Agreed that making it optional is certainly the right way to go - options like this are what makes Kodi the amazing media center it is
