GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 555855
Bookmarks plugin
Last modified: 2010-09-02 18:08:47 UTC
This is a feature request. I'd like to see support for bookmarks in Totem. Example use cases: 1) I start watching a movie, but I don't have the time to finish it. I want Totem to remember the time where I stopped watching such that I can resume the playback. It shouldn't just remember the time of the last movie I watched, as it is possible that I stopped watching the movie because I had to watch something else with Totem. 2) I'm listening to a long audio file such as an audio book. I want Totem to remeber where I stopped listening the last time I listened to the file. 3) I want to show my friends my favorite scene in UHF with Weird Al, so I open the "Teaching Dogs to fly -- UHF" bookmark, and everybody enjoys the scene. (Such a feature might be nice with the YouTube plugin) I think the user interface should be similar to the bookmark system in Epiphany. That is, a "Bookmark" entry in the menubar. I'm not sure we'd need the whole tag system that Epiphany has, although it might be nice. We could pre-provide the following tags: "Interupted Movies", "Interupted Audio", "My Favorites".
I'll jump on the bandwagon here, and say if I could code anything beyond hello world I'd help out with this one, cause it is a much missed feature ( only one?) in totem

See above. In the future, we'll have support for chaptered data in the chapters plugin (see bug 540890) > 3) I want to show my friends my favorite scene in UHF with Weird Al, so I open > the "Teaching Dogs to fly -- UHF" bookmark, and everybody enjoys the scene. > (Such a feature might be nice with the YouTube plugin) Having a way to categorise videos is beyond what we currently want to do. We have 1) remember the video (using the recent files) and 2) remember the position in the video. We handle both separately. For YouTube, we should be handling favourites directly from the website, so they're not Totem specific. > I think the user interface should be similar to the bookmark system in > Epiphany.

I'm not really interested in a full-blown bookmarking system, but if you have specific use cases that weren't covered there, feel free to file a new bug (one bug per use case please).
