Remember video position

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff]

When I close Audience, it should remember when/where the playback stopped, and start from the same place when I launch it again.
This can be implemented as an sqlite database or xattr, but not all filesystems support xattr, so sqlite is better.

This feature usually annoys me in media players. And sqlite/sqlheavy is more bloat.

However, the project is open to receiving a patch. So long as it does NOT remember location within audio files; it should only affect videos.

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Well, you don't have to care about audio files at all. Don't bloat your code with any handling of them, there's more than enough dedicated audio players out there already,
This feature is a must have for a movie player IMHO; I don't want to seek a 90-minute video just to continue watching it where I stopped last time. I really enjoy this on my Maemo device.
Using dconf might be an option. However, sqlite doesn't seem to bloat apps (look at lingo for example - it uses sqlite for storing recent items instead of dconf for performance reasons) and you're not obligated to use sqlheavy (lingo doesn't).

It should now be saving up to five entries in dconf.

Woot!
Sounds great!
