Resume Watch

While watching a video on the Muvi Player, if the end-users close the player in the middle and choose to watch the video later, then next time when they open that particular video to watch, the player will resume playback of the video from where they have left watching it. They don't have to play the video again from the beginning as the player remembers where they have left watching. This feature works across all the platforms as well as for offline viewing (Mobile, TV Apps, and Website).
