Resume any content, e.g page number, video timing, scroll position on Web page, on any device capable of reading that content.

Some research has been done a bit, e.g with meta-data of usager from VLC resuming from home directory, minidlna, reMarkable files, Calibre, Okular, etc.

Might consider development of plugins or extensions for each such client e.g

own experimental Koreader plugin

Scripting from each player could be used, e.g Lua for VLC or mpv, but also wrapping scripts could be used to sync, e.g. write on closing and read on opening, via a file server, e.g WebDAV, thus requiring no modification to players themselves.
