Moments' Tracker
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Moments' Tracker allows you to track all your favorite movie/media moments and scenes.
Bookmark your favorite moment, give it a title/caption, and that's it.
Once you've done this, you can jump directly to your moment anytime you open that media file, no need to scroll through trying to find certain moment.
If you just want to mark your position so that you could resume from where you stopped, you could use the "Checkpoint" feature.
Click the "Checkpoint!" button, and retrieve it whenever you want using "Retrieve Checkpoint" button.
Whenever you open a media file, all your bookmarked moments are displayed so that you can manipulate it.
To install Moments' Tracker, download moments_tracker_V1.lua file, and add it into the following destination:
In Windows:
Program FilesVideoLANVLCluaextensions
In Mac OS X: /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/
In Linux:
/usr/share/vlc/lua/extensions/

Windows 7 (64bit) saved to C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions, created bookmark in video #6 of 14, saved M3U8 playlist (14 tutorial videos), closed VLC Media Player, re-opened, loaded playlist , automatically started video #1. I paused it and it showed no bookmarks, had to advance to video #6 for it to work. You have to remember which video your bookmark is in to find the bookmark. Could be better, but it's better than nothing. Thnks.

In any case, I looked at the 6 different plugins that came up for a keyword search of "resume" (only one of those came up when searching for "continue", so the author of Moments' Tracker may want to include that word somewhere in the description). What I found:
Multiple VLC enhancments [sic] / Omni — No way to change options (e.g. the dangerous "hit Del to delete currently playing file without warning") without donating. No thanks.
Progress (Saves Your Progress) — Restore of the last playlist works, but the last file starts playing again from the beginning.
Quick Save/Load Playlist — Didn't try this one, but the description only mentions resuming where you were in the playlist, not where you were in the last file.
Resume Media — Wow, one of the very worst UIs I have ever seen. Once I finally figured out how the heck to use it, I was able to get manual saving and restoring of play location to work under 2.2.8, but not the advertised automatic saving. Under 3.0.2, I couldn't get even manual save/restore to work.
vlcTADED — Didn't try it since it requires you to redo your directory structures to suit the plugin.
I tried Moments' Tracker (BTW, that apostrophe is not really correct English) last, and THANKFULLY, it was the one solution that worked. Unfortunately you have to remember to manually save your last play location, but I'm not sure if there's a way around that with the current LUA APIs. Also, there's some awkwardness where the plugin only works as expected if you quit VLC before opening a file that you want to resume a previous play location in, then activate the plugin after loading your media. However, you can work around this by going to "View" → "Bookmark your moments" (BTW, this really ought to have the same name as the plugin) → "Deactivate", and then reactivate it. This awkwardness is greatly reduced if you turn off VLC's default "Playlist" → "Use only one instance when started from file manager" option.
Anyway, thank you so much to the author(s) of Moments' Tracker for being the only ones to properly fix this curiously problematic necessity!
