The content of "ml.xspf" after creating a bookmark for the video object in the Media Library and closing the VLC:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

After a restart of VLC to be deleted the bookmark. The video object is to be started.

I open Menu -> Playback -> Custom Bookmarks and see the bookmark. Now I open with "Manage" the "Edit Bookmarks" dialog and see here no bookmarks.

What can I do? - I create a bookmark and now I see two bookmarks.

With the "Clear" button do I remove both bookmarks and leave with the "Close" button the dialog. Then I close the VLC.

The content of "ml.xspf" after removing the bookmark and close the VLC:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I start the VLC new and now I have two bookmarks for the video object in the media library.
