I have been trying hard to write an add-on that would save the current music playlist, current track and track position and resume later from the add-on (by assigning this resume function to a key/button). I have been able to do everything except for saving the current playlist name. Apparently JSON RPC doesn't expose this functionality and there's no other way to get the playlist name, although this function was supported by HTTP API earlier, which is now deprecated.
Every other media player I have used offers this resume playback functionality, it is quite surprising an amazing player like Kodi doesn't offer the same !
It would be great if Kodi could offer this functionality through GUI (in Music Settings) and let users assign a button/key to resume playback once Kodi is relaunched.
Regardless, it is very much desirable to have this function available through JSON RPC as, it will allow add-ons to customize it further.
Thanks.
