Summary0008461: Bookmarks aren't saved per Album/Series/Podcast
DescriptionIf bookmarking is enabled, bookmarks are only saved per file. The net effect is that if a user double-clicks an Album/AudioBook and expects playback to resume at the point of the last-played Episode and position, MM fails--instead beginning with the first track, even if it has already been played.

I suspect that this may not be fixable for 4.0 since although it might be trivial to initiate playback from the last played track, it isn't obvious in what direction to play the tracks when it comes to Podcasts (newest first or oldest first), unless one takes the approach of always playing the adjacent track that has had fewer plays next.

Setting target to 4.1 in order to avoid regressions.

I'd implement it as follows: Player would be notified on addition of tracks to NP that the set of tracks belong to a single object (e.g. Play Now action on a single album in AA view, but not Play Now action on some tracks selected in the tracklist). In case all of the tracks are bookmarkable, MM would start playback on the track that has the highest Last Played field. In case this track doesn't have a fractional playcount (i.e. no bookmark), the next one would start.

I guess that this could have rather a negative impact for some users. Some users would not expect such a behaviour and the behaviour could be undesirable for them.

Because we store the Last Played only once after the _whole_ track was played then we need to modify the Jiri's suggestion to start playback on the next track to the track with the most recent Last Played field.

Fixed in build 1601.

So the workflow is:
If the tracks are played from Album Art view or Media Tree then
If all tracks are BookmarkAble then the playback starts on the next track to the track with the most recent Last Played
