Using the latest version of VLC Player for Windows, I am playing a series of videos in a tutorial and hit the "Next Video" button to scroll through my playlist. When I return to the original video, how do I get VLC to remember where it was playing and continue from the same place? There is a preferences option for "Continue Playing" and I set that to Always, but the video is always restarting from time 00:00.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

"Continue Playback? -> Always"
Yes, that is what I have set, but when I tab through a video playlist it is not remembering positions. -
It worked when I exited and restarted the program. Maybe it doesn't work for playlist items?

Ah, I think you need to have Tools -> Preferences -> Interface -> Save Recently Played Items enabled too.

Thank you Jagabo! I've had the same issue/question as pone44 and have been following this thread hoping for a solution. You're solution (post #6) was the key.

Here's the procedure for VLC Media Player 3.0.18, the latest version for Windows 7.
1) Open VLC Media Player.
2) Tools > Preferences > Show settings > switch from Simple to All (at the bottom left)
3) Click, Interface > expand Main interfaces > Qt > check, Save the recently played items in the menu (right side)
4) Two lines down, next to Continue playback?, choose Always (right side)
5) Click, Save (bottom right)
6) Close VLC Player
Now when you play an Audio/Video file with VLC Player, it remembers it's playback location and will resume from the same spot when you later choose to resume playing the file. I've noticed that this works for many files. However, it still doesn't Continue Playback for videos that are in Portrait orientation and occasionally for some files that are Landscape orientation. MOV files from iPhone won't Continue Payback. -
Never mind. It works when I continue playing from the right-click file menu.

SMPlayer will do this, no problem, and also remember playback settings for the file. I first tried it about a dozen years ago just for that feature and it's still my default for file playback. While VLC is better for DVDs (which isn't relevant to may any more) I think SMPlayer is better in every other way I've used it.

As it turns out, I did try this one several years ago and it couldn't make me give up MPC-HC or MPC-BE back then. Hopefully things have changed since then.
How do you show chapter markers? I go to next chapter quite often with TV series.
Also, I need to be able to stop and start with a mouse click. is this possible now?Last edited by SuperFist; 26th Jun 2024 at 11:50.
