Bugzilla – Bug 3869
holding play button (rather than a quick tap) while browsing music folder, doesn't play
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:17:31 UTC
While using browse music folder (from the remote control, SB3) if you quickly tap the play button it will play, if you hold the play button for any amount of time more than roughly a half second, it does not play.
Additional detail: The original complaint of the user was that the user had to press and release play 'as fast as he can' in order to achieve the 'play' functionality.
play.hold for browsetree mode looks to be mapped to the 'create_mix' function. This doesn't exist in browsetree. Not sure if there was an intent to add mixing from BMF or whether the mapping should be changed to map play.hold to 'play' either way, certainly a bug :)
Dean, I can fix this either way, but I need a UI ruling. are we going to do musicmagic mixing via BMF, or should we change so that play.hold will simply play rather than attempt to call the non-existent create_mix function?
Subject: Re: holding play button (rather than a quick tap) while browsing music folder, doesn't play In every case that there isn't a special function for press and hold on any button, a press and hold should just be the same as a simple press. Independent of this, we may do a magic mix feature in BMF in the future. Thanks, KDF...
Hi KDF, I'm assigning this to you to get it off my list since it looks like you're looking at it. As always, if you want or need to, you can assign it back to me, or on to whoever makes sense (who you certainly know as well as I do :).
ok. I'll add the create-mix function and if it's an easy add I'll make it mixable. If not, I'll make it an instant fallback to play until we can add the feature later.
fixed at change 8902. There is more code there than needed, but it will stand for now until such time as mixing might be supported under BMF a bit more readily.
