About "watch_later" function

[NeilTohno]

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

Hi, current 'watch_later' function suffers from filename collisions because the watch_later configuration files are generated with video filename. This results in incorrect restore playback when new videos are added to the same folder. I suggest adding duration and bitrate to the watch_later configuration filename, ensuring unique filenames.

Could you provide steps to reproduce the collision you are talking about?

--resume-playback-check-mtime=<yes|no> Only restore the playback position from the watch_later configuration subdirectory (usually ~/.config/mpv/watch_later/) if the file's modification time is the same as at the time of saving. This may prevent skipping forward in files with the same name which have different content. (Default: no)

Default: no

I get it, I just need add "resume-playback-check-mtime=yes" to the mpv config file,
But in my test, when I open new video file, the old "watch later" files is nowhere.
