That's a good idea.

Note that at least newer mpv has "write-watch-later-config" command
which stores playback position under ~/.config/mpv/watch_later/ and
will continue from the same place unless mpv is configured not to
(via e.g. --no-resume-playback option).

So unless you want actual bookmarks, i.e. multiples of these for files,
and not just one "where did I stop here" position, binding something
like (emms-player-mpv-cmd '(write-watch-later-config))) should work.

To be fair, same trick should also work with simple player as it's a
one-way command without much need for reply.
