Description jansby 2009-10-14 06:39:45 UTC

Posted this on the forum, someone said I should go here.

Earlier when I started playing an album with sb3, it would play it through to the end, and then shut up and return to track 1 in the display. Now, after finishing the album, the final track stays in the display, so when I point the remote at the player and press play, it starts playing the final track. I see the point of picking up where you turned it off last time, but why position the player at the beginning of the last track played, when that's not even where you left it, instead of at the beginning of the playlist? Why would anyone in the whole wide world even want this?

Is there any way I can fix this in settings?

If not, I probably won't die.

Thanks for your attention.

What version of Server do you have installed on your WHS system?

Windows Home Server with Power Pack 2.

Could you please post the details from Settings/Information? for SqueezeBox Server

QA confirmed 7.4.1, when repeat is off, the playlist will not reset to the first item, instead it stays on the last item.

Comment 6 jansby 2009-10-14 12:18:40 UTC

Well, it's annoying. Is this universally agreed upon as a good thing, or is there a chance it might be changed again in a later version?

Comment 7 Michael Herger 2009-10-14 13:55:38 UTC

Alan - is this an issue in the StreamingController or something?

Comment 8 Alan Young 2009-10-16 01:19:31 UTC

Yes, this is an issue with the way the StreamingController works. I think it would be pretty difficult to change.

While annoying in some cases, it is easy to restart the playlist using FWD instead of PLAY in this case.

I'll keep it in mind to see if I can come up with a fix.
