Remember the Last Played Position of a Video in Windows Media Player

You have used GOM Player earlier then you may have noticed in this player a future to remember the last played position of an interrupted movie so that next time I play the video, I don’t have to manually seek the timeline. But, if you like Windows Media Player then you must have missed out this nice future. But, you can remember the last played position of video as well as audio in Windows Media Player also with a small plugin. MyMediaBookmarks Plugin can be download from the link provided below after the article.

Before start installing this plugin close any instance of Windows Media Player which are already running on your system to ensure smooth installation. The installation process is simple enough, just follow the onscreen steps to finish the setup.

After successful installation, run Windows Media Player. By default, the plugin will load up automatically. Due to any reason, if the plugin does not activates itself, open Tools–>Plug-ins and select MyMediaBookmarks Plugin. To open the plug-in configuration, click on Options.
On the MyMediaBookmarks settings window, enable the service and put a check against Auto resume video files. If you want to auto resume audio files, put a check on the respective option as well.
The playback time option when resuming option rewinds the video by particular time so that you can catch-up with the movie nicely. By default, the time is set as 5 seconds and it’s good enough as per my thinking.

Have a look at the file types the plug-in will monitor for bookmarking, in the File Types tab. You can add to or delete from the list easily.
Now whenever you close your Media Player in the middle of a video, the plug-in will bookmark the last played time for the particular video and resume it automatically the next time you play the file. If you want to clear all the bookmarks, the plug-in has recorded, open the plug-in settings and click the Clear all bookmarks buttons.

MyMediaBookmarks Plugin works with all version of windows including Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP. I have personally tested it with Windows 8 and worked great for me. Just go ahead and download this great plugin.
