MythTV formerly used the recording bookmark for both 1) a user bookmark
and 2) to remember its position in the recording when you stop play. 
These have been split into separate items.  The bookmark now remains
untouched until you the user set or clear it, and the last played
position is always remembered. 

When you start a recording from the "Watch Recordings" page, if you
choose a recording and hit enter MythTV will begin play from 1) the
last play position (if set), 2) the user bookmark (if set), or 3) the
beginning.  If you choose a recording and hit Menu then MythTV will let
you select which of the available starting points to use.  These
options for starting play aren't new, they were always present and
worked with the bookmark and the beginning.  What's new is that these
options now include the last played position.

If you are using one of the MythCenter themes, the "Watch Recordings"
page now shows an indicator of what percentage of a recording has been
watched. This is based on the last play position.
