VLC won't remember the position of a playlist if the app is closed

Description

VLC won't remember the position of a playlist if the app is closed.

If it's not persisted yet, it'd probably make sense to store the position of the latest n playlists. I'm currently watching a course with a few hundred videos and when I close VLC by accident (i.e. using the Close all functionality in Android) then I have to look manually which video I already watched.

Expected behaviour

Closing VLC completely and reopening should remember the currently watched entries

Actual behaviour

VLC doesn't remember anything — just as if the playlist was opened the first time.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Play something in a playlist — for instance until you watch the third video of a playlist with ten entries
  2. Close VLC completely
  3. Reopen VLC
  4. VLC behaves as if nothing of this playlist was ever watched.
