Totem video player plugin that starts a video at the playback position that it was last paused.

Remember Last Position Totem Plugin

Remember last position (Totem Plugin) starts a video at the playback position that it was last paused. In addition, it supports automatically starting the last video, at the last playback position, once Totem starts.

Installation

Download the content of this repository to ~/.local/share/totem/plugins/remember-last-position-totem-plugin. Or clone the repository to the plugins folder:

cd ~/.local/share/totem/plugins
git clone https://github.com/fonaro/remember-last-position-totem-plugin.git

Finally, enable the plugin in the "Preferences->General->Plugins..." menu.

How it works

During video playback, the plugin stores the current video time offset, along with its file path, in remember-last-position.pydata inside the plugin folder.

Later, when this file will be opened, the playback will continue from the last playback position, even if Totem was closed.

If load-on-start feature is enabled (disabled by default), the plugin will start playing the last played video once Totem starts. The playback will start only after 5 seconds (default).

WARNING! Not tested on web-sources.

Tuning

It is possible to tune the plugin parameters via the configuration file: remember-last-position.conf.

• load-on-start: Explained above (true or false).
• load-on-start-delay: The time to wait for the video to start (seconds).
• history-length: How many files will be stored (integer).
• update-interval: Update the video playback position on interval (seconds).
