sleep timer suggestions
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:52:28 UTC
Received some very intuitive suggestions on how sleep functionality could be improved. Personally I like the second one since, well, if you have a song that ends abruptly it could wake you up if you're already asleep when it happens... Fading out would be really neat. ---- Sleep timer If I play a particular play list for example that might really be 2 hours worth of tracks, then I set the sleep timer to say, 60mins - chances are that the sleep timer would shut down the player somewhere part way into a track. It would be really good if the software realised that the sleep timer had expired but then waited until the track now playing had finished and then shut down player. Or alternatively, when the sleep timer expires, the track slowly fades out. ----
actually, it used to fade. pre-5.x I think.
It fades, but there was a bug in the fading routine that is now corrected, causing it to kill the music abruptly. Issue now from a Command.pm perspective is that the fading happens after the sleep period, that is, during the fading time the player is not reported sleeping. Will fix that, but this bug can be closed IMHO.
fred, your latest patch to the list fixes the sleep status in cli?
Yes, it fixes it. Sorry for late reply but I am not copied on all bugs :-)
There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
Routine bug db maintenance; removing old versions which cause confusion. I apologize for the inconvenience.
