Resume for External Players (1 Viewer)

[vapourEyes]

Hello Folks,

Is it possible to enable MP to resume in an External Player, where it left off ?
I guess the question also is, can and does MP supply flags to a specific time in the External Player options ?

The use-case:
I have VLC in kiosk mode to play more of the files I have and it works great with these flags:
--play-and-exit --fullscreen --no-osd %filename%

BUT: I could add this: --start-time=

But I'm not sure MP supplies the start time to an External Player ?

Sorry for posting twice, something weird happened

I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback.
Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)
