I don't think the VLC developers will fix the lua run-time interface to OSX anytime soon. And I don't have access to a Mac right now.
I added some comments to the description and code to see if Mac users are interested in tinkering with the Resume Media display.
Success might be elusive, but if you want to try, have fun!

The [Play/Options] menu is different if the VLC playlist is playing (or paused). So, while the VLC playlist is stopped (not playing), you should be able to see the [Add VLC] button.
I changed the description above (under Detailed Features and Notes) to make it a little clearer. I'll change the description in the download files in the next release. Thanks.

Hi,
The [Play/Options] and [Add VLC] buttons are on the Resume Media window, not VLC. See installation instructions above in the description to install and run Resume Media.
Good luck, Rocky

If you copy the VLC playlist to a Resume Media table, then Resume Media will place a bookmark in the table next to the last media played in the VLC playlist. It will also remember and display the resume positions.
To copy the VLC playlist to a Resume Media table, click [Play/Options] then [Add VLC].
You can also play your media right from the Resume Media table. The selected media played from Resume Media replaces the current VLC playlist.

Hi Mark,
VLC now has a "Continue" button that shows above the movie for a few seconds when you restart the movie. If you click "Continue" before it goes away, your movie will resume without needing Resume Media.
Ya, I guess Resume Media can seem complicated at first but, for what it can do, I think it is reasonably well organized. Since it is a free amateur program, I don't want to spend all my time making it pretty with a huge help file. That would take more time than writing the program itself! I use Resume Media all the time to play my library of media files. I only go to a file manager to load the media into the VLC playlist, since that is how Resume Media loads media names into its tables.
If you want to use Resume Media to resume your movie, then the movie needs to be added to a table, either manually or automatically.
* To add it manually, click [Play/Options] and then [Add VLC] to add the VLC playlist to the Resume Media table. If the movie is playing, click [Play/Options] and then [Position] to add the movie and its position to the table.
* To add it automatically, click [Play/Options] and then [Settings]. Near the bottom, change "Block-" to "Allow new table entry when media stops." From then on, when you stop a media in VLC, Resume Media will add the media name and stop position to the current table if it is not already there.
Once in the current table, Resume Media will update the stop position and resume the movie. "Allow-" used to be the default behavior, but since VLC now has the built-in "Continue" feature, it was changed to "Block-" so that new entries wouldn't accidentally be added to a table that a user has customized.
I hope that answers your question.
Good luck, Rocky |

I've been assuming that a lua extension developed in Windows but not containing Windows specific code should have a reasonable chance of working across platforms. That assumption appears to be wrong.
I was hoping the problem was an installation or unique software configuration issue with some Mac users and not a general VLC lua coding compatibility issue with OSX. I apologize to the Mac community for possibly implying that this extension should work on Macs.
I am looking into getting access to a Mac system to make this work. |

I need to get my hands on a Mac and then possibly raise any issues in the forums instead of here.
But thanks for your offer. I was hoping it was an installation or unique software configuration issue with some users and not a general coding compatibility issue with OSX. I apologize to the Mac community for possibly implying that this extension should work on Macs. |

You need to know basic Windows commands like creating directories and files.
A. Open directory
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\vlc
and create subdirectory ..\lua\extensions
B. Now open the directory
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\vlc\lua\extensions
and created a text file named "VLC Resume Media V3.lua"
Then do the following:
1. Click on "Download" to bring up the web file contents.
2. Type Cntl-A to highlight the whole file contents.
3. Type Cntl-C to copy the file contents to the clipboard.
4. Open the VLC Resume Media V3.lua file you created in a text editor like Notepad.
5. Type Cntl-V to copy the contents into the file. Close the file.
6. Open VLC and go to View menu at the top.
7. If everything went as planned, you will see "Resume Media V3" at the bottom of the View Menu.
8. Click it, and the Resume Media dialog window will open.
9. Enjoy!

That 'read me' file is the Resume Media lua file itself. Just follow the instructions above or in the file. Good luck. |
