Windows media library that remembers where you stopped

Play From Here gives a Windows PC the media library normally reserved for a home server, without running one. It sorts your folders into shows and films, and every title remembers exactly where you stopped. One-time purchase, no subscription, no account.

I built Play From Here because my own video folder had become unusable. Hundreds of files with names like S02E07.1080p.x265.mkv, no memory of which episode I was on, and every player forgetting my position the moment I closed it.
The usual fix is to run a media server at home. I did not want to run a server. I wanted to point something at a folder and have it work.
So this reads your folders and builds a library: posters instead of filenames, loose episodes gathered into seasons, a messy downloads folder sorted by itself. Every title remembers the exact second you stopped, so continue watching picks up mid-episode across the whole collection.
Windows only, everything plays from your own drive, one-time purchase at $19.99. This is the first public release, and I am calling it a beta honestly: I use it every day, but you will probably find rough edges.
The feedback that would help most: does "a library without a server" land for you, or does this just read as another video player? That is the thing I am least sure about.
