Hi.  I'm taking interest in your project although it's not clear to me what your goal is?  Every external player I use has a resume function to pick up where I left off the next time I launch the player from Kodi.  I think MPC-BE calls it a 'file position' setting.  Others call the setting something else.  This data is stored in each player.  What gain will your new compile and build offer that doesn't already exist besides maybe displaying partially watched status for the title in the Kodi library since the timestamp data will be copied to Kodi?  I use 5 external players and just added a 5th, VLC.  I doubt it but, if I was to launch playback using a different player could or would they resume at the same timestamp also since Kodi will be telling them to?  Whether all players will oblige is a different story but I take it at least the one that provided the original metadata to Kodi might?  Thanks for taking the time and interest.  Will your compile and build offer anything else of interest?  TIA.
