.m3u playlist won't play

<< < (2/2)

OK, save a seat for me on the short bus.

I'm at work and didn't have my headphones plugged in. I was just trying to build the play lists and wanted to make sure they worked.  I expected to see the 'now playing' screen to appear (I assume that's wps).

Thanks for covering all the bases and asking the stupid questions.  Once I plugged in the headphones it was playing what I expected it to even though the screen didn't display what I expected.

evilnick:
Yeah, this can be slightly confusing until you get used to it. IIRC (and there's no guarantee of THAT) rockbox _used to_ display the WPS screen directly after you loaded an .m3u, but to be honest, I rely on the dynamic playlist to such an extent that I might be making that up!

Whoa, quite a specific Americanism there. Had to look that one up  :-\

jowlsey:
I thought I'd add an observation that I believe is what lead to my confusion.

If I start playing a playlist while nothing else is playing, the device will go back to the playlist view (create playlist, view current playlist, etc).

If I have a track playing, and then start playlist, the device will go back to the wps screen.

This seems like inconsistent behavior to me. Perhaps someone that does development work on RockBox would consider changing this. I'm not a programmer or I'd take a stab at it myself.

Just a suggestion.
