Player loses current position in track when turned off
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:36:01 UTC
A change in the post 6.1 trunk means that a player no longer keeps its current position in a track if it is turned off. Instead of resuming from where it was when turned on again, it starts from the start of the current track. Tape players would never do this. CD players tend to, but this is a limitation in their design rather than a feature, due to their inability to maintain state when they lose power. More advanced devices, such as in-car audio, ipods etc keep the current position as a feature, so why should the SqueezeBox lose it? This has been discussed at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=15441, and probably now at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=48410.
for the record: change 3705 and this will mean re-opening bug 1592 (reverting to bug status).
Do we want a pref toggle for this?
I'm good with setting the behavior back (i.e. don't lose the position when you power off), but we need to fix the other problem where powering off didn't stop playback in some cases.
Created attachment 740 [details] revert the stop on power, force rate 1 on pause This might work. I can't remember exactly what things I tried before resorting to stop. I am unable to test this right now.
ok, tested this out and it seems to work.
KDF: please commit if you haven't yet. Max, can you test it out once it's in the nightly?
in the trunk at change 4023
