I use VLC and MPlayerX many many times daily. Excellent programs with a million functions that qt will have in about ten years' time.
I watch many things piecemeal when I get a chance between work, and in the past I would just go to file history and open the file I want and it'd resume where I last left off. It might take a week to finish one movie.
But now I switched to a 500gb MBA, and so I have to use a USB external drive once to a few times daily for stuff I don't use often.
I don’t want to leave it plugged in all the time, as it'd be spinning every time I do a search, which would decrease its life expectancy.
And it completely screws with the file histories of both of those programs. When the external is not plugged in, history shows some random files that had been played before, possibly while the drive was plugged in. When the drive IS plugged in, it shows different random files that had also been played before (but not the 10 most recent).
Quicktime doesn't have this problem, but it's useless for playing the formats I need to play and it doesn't have the many functions the two programs have.
Any fix for this?
Nothing on gewgl.
