    Summary:
    Improve handling with recorded programs and video files.

    Area:
    Recordings
    Videos

    Description:
    I suggest to always start recorded programs and video files at that point i stopped watching.
    The option, to start the file from beginning can be placed in context menu.
    It is a little annoying to press the "OK" button twice.

    I prefer the way it is now - your request just thinks of your own useage model. I for example have kids and usually start at the point where I "commanded the end of the film" ;)

    Actually I have hacked my own TVPlugin up, that in configuration (among other things) has three options:
    - Always start from beginning
    - Always resume
    - Ask user what to to (current functionality)

    The reason for this, was that our old PVR always resumed from where it left playing. But I somehow ended up using "Ask user what to do", in MediaPortal, and I stick with that now :)

    Ok,
    i respect your views.
    So it would be nice to have this in configuration options.

    Do you think you can integrate this in official MP code?
