My thoughts on your idea:
- I'm dislike the idea of having a history of which videos I watch and
for how long, (ahem, in principal only). Please make it configurable and disabled
by default.
- Last viewed position is a property of the player, having assosicated
with .avifile it gross. I think .aviplayrc is better
- Having one file per video is messy. If there is some sort of
resource to store this info, put it in one file.
