Description
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.

Research direction
Start by tracing the watch_later configuration filename generation and the resume-playback handling described in the issue, then compare the behavior with mpv's resume-playback and resume-playback-check-mtime options. Confirm how filename collisions occur and define done as distinct watch_later entries restoring the correct playback position when videos share a folder.
