Bugzilla – Bug 15366
Pause not reliable when screensaver is engaged
Last modified: 2010-03-04 08:39:54 UTC
I have seen this for a while - the first time you press pause it doesn't do anything. 29670 is described as fixing this, but it does not. Now, the first time you press pause after the screensaver engages, pause is really delivered twice - you see the SB3 cycle through pause and resume playing. Subsequent presses work correctly unless you navigate to a new screen and let the screensaver engage again. Then it again fails the first time.
what bug is that change 29670 refering to?
29670 was intended to resolve pause during screensaver issues which were created as a byproduct of 29543. Its working for me - what cases does it not work for you - which screensavers and what case? Do you have a custom map file?
It appears now to be related to Music Info SCR. If I set the screensaver to now playing, the problem goes away. My feeble memory claims this was not always the case - but experimental error may be involved :-) In any case, with Music Info SCR set as my screensaver, on my SB3: 1. Start an MP3 track playing. 2. Use left arrow to get to the main menu. 3. Wait for screensaver to engage. 4. Press pause. Pause flashes in the upper left of screen, but play continues. 5. After this, pause works correctly until you leave and return to the screen saver. I got the mp3 playing by navigating in Music Folder. After the screensaver engages, if I use left arrow to get out, pause works. No custom map. Music Info SCR settings: AVD - on Display playlist - on Disable vis - off Jump back - off Two line display (used in this experiment) Playtime Progress Playtime Remaining Title Don't show icons twice Alarm screen - default Customize Playlist Display - use screensaver settings Powered off - use sc fonts ...
Please contact the author of that 3rd party extension. Oh wait...
Can't reproduce this here. Do you see the same issue if you enable the "jump back..." option?
If jump back is on it does not fail. Any tracing I can turn on to help?

continues to be a problem. running my SB3 in large (one line) mode, my choices are pause broken (MusicInfoSCR) or no elapsed time display. I never pressed getting the Large Mode display "fixed" in the base since MusicInfoSRC solved the problem. But now its broken. I has assumed/hoped from Michael's comment in the dup entry that the problem was understood and would be solved. Any hope?
This is not a SBS bug, but only in my plugin. And yes, I plan to fix it. But we have some deadlines to hit...
I understand - thanks for the update and I'll be patient. And remember, complaints mean you have users dependent on this wonderful system.
You should see MusicInfoSCR v4.4.7 being pushed out any moment. Thanks for the report!
I'm not seeing 4.4.7 - I've waited a day in the spirit of patience. I don't know/remember the URL of the repository to check it, so i don't know if the problem is at my end.
I do see the new version on Michael's web site - but I hesitate to install it "by hand". It's not listed in Michael's repo.xml - presumably because its distributed by squeezebox.
Some code reading found the url: http://mysqueezebox.com/public/plugins/repository.xml which still list 4.4.6
Yeah, sorry, forgot to bump the repository. Done now.
Thanks - fixed for me.
