Enhancement Request: Video Resume/Continue Playback Feature

Feature Description

Add the ability for Screenbox to remember and resume videos from the last played position across sessions.

Problem Statement

When users close Screenbox and reopen a video later, they must manually seek to their previous watching position. This creates friction in the user experience, especially for longer content like movies or educational videos.

Proposed Solution

Implement a "Resume Playback" feature that:

• Automatically saves the timestamp when a user stops watching a video
• Stores this information persistently across application restarts
• Offers a prompt to resume from the last position when reopening a previously watched video
• Provides an option to start from the beginning if desired

Benefits

• Improved user experience
• Alignment with modern video player capabilities
• Particularly useful for long-form content
• Matches functionality users expect from VLC, which Screenbox is based on

Priority Level

Medium - Quality of life improvement that would significantly enhance user experience

Hi, this feature is already available in Screenbox. When you reopen a media file that you previously played, the player will prompt you to resume from the last position. Is this not the case for you?
