Streaming services solved discovery and resume-where-you-left-off, then spent a decade making the actual watching worse. Perchplayer is the other half: the convenience layer, pointed at a folder of files that cannot be removed from you at a licensing deadline.
Continue-watching state, artwork, sensible metadata. Nothing that requires an account.
