Strange bookmark behavior

<< < (2/10) > >>

I have the same problem on my iAudio M5
But it doesn't work correctly neither if it played at the moment nor if I pushed Pause befor. It begins to play from the beginning of the bookmarked track in both cases

The problem began since Rockbox version r15311-071026.
Version r15294-071025 worked propperly on my iAudio M5
I can't see the changelog for r15311-071026 so I don't know which changes made the mentioned problem

Does anybody know how to solve the problem?

Taslow:
There are a couple of other threads with some of us experiencing the same problem on our e250/280's and other models. I originally thought it was isolated just to post-power-cycle because my bookmarks seemed to work as long as I hadn't restarted my player in the meantime; but it seems like there are multiple situations and different models where bookmarks aren't functioning correctly on any builds in the last week (or more?). I can't remember exactly when mine stopped working but I'll start loading some old builds until it begins functioning again and post on it.

Just started using Rockbox on my iaudio X5.  I am experiencing basically the same problem.  I can save a bookmark and it shows up in the bookmark list.  However, when I play the bookmark it starts at the beginning of the file, not at the correct location.  Most of my listening is to lectures and audiobooks, so bookmarks are critical to me.  Has there been any progress on this?  Is there a recommended build that I can go back to?  I am running version r16354-080219.

rockbox is f*cked up when it comes to bookmarking.  I had a multi-page thread (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=14995.0) going about bookmarking issues in the Sansa c200, which resulted in nothing, except a band-aid.  I wouldn't get your hopes up about a fix coming soon, as the developers feel it is a "rare" and "subtle" issue that doesn't effect too many users.  I tried using hacky ways to mimic bookmarking (ie, looking at the timestamp and manually fast-forwarding), but I ended up ditching rockbox and using the original firmware, as there was no point, for me, to use rockbox without bookmarking.

What drives me nuts is that they were able to get plugins and an image viewer and skins and games working, but not something as basic as bookmarking.  I heard that's a big problem with open source software, the developers want to work on the cool and flashy features, but not the "boring" and useful features.

Open source software is like communism, good idea, in theory...

And yet here your are complaining while other people are working on fixing the problem. You pay them NOTHING yet feel justified in complaining when their contibutions aren't  fast enough, while you yourself contribute nothing at all. Do I detect a false sense of entitlement here?
