Description Oliver Gerlich 2007-01-07 17:11:04 UTC 
It would be nice if totem would remember where I paused a movie, even if I restart totem or restart the computer. I'm not sure if this is technically possible, tough... Only I got this "feature request" from some amateur user who wondered about this :-) ("Yesterday I watched that DVD and clicked Pause - so, if I open it again today, will it go on at that position or do I have to go to that position by hand?")

So, basically totem would have to remember the volume name (for DVD) or the movie name (for movie file) and then remember whether playback was paused last time. And then restore this, if the media is opened again.

See the comments in bug 164918.
Have you tried using the session saving feature of Totem (with a recent version)? Just don't quit Totem, and exit the session, Totem should re-open at the same place the next time.

Thanks for the quick reply! The use case in #164918 would cover my requirement very well.
I haven't tried the session saving (will try that next time I am at that computer); but I guess this will not fully satisfy the the use case I have (my "amateur user" doesn't know about sessions and is used to close all windows before shutting down; and I myself do not trust the session saving feature enough that it _really_ restores everything :)
