I had a similar idea quite a while ago (vdr-0.8x ?) ...

used an setup paramerter "ResumeID" ( integer value )
to create and use different resume files:

resume.vdr
resume.1.vdr
resume.2.vdr
.
.

I somehow forgot it because I don't really need it myself
but I still think a feature like that is important
when different 'clients' are sharing the same video directory
on a server.
