apple style sleep mode

Okay, I think I got it now. You want the _stereo's_ mp3 player to remember where it left off, right? The stereo is treating Rockbox like it's only a USB drive, right?
I think Chronon might be on to something. You car stereo may automatically switch to a special control mode for iPods, vs Rockbox appearing as a regular USB disk....
Spoonman:
i dont think so, this would be mentioned somewhere at the stereo´s specs, so i am pretty sure it is just treated as a usb discdrive or thumbdrive. and if i power off the ipod when it is in apple firmware the same thing happens. it starts from the first track.
i think best solution for this would be having rockbox just powering off the display after a while when not in use instead of shutting down the device.
Febs:
What is the make and model of your car stereo? My gut feeling is that Chronon is right, but I'm curious to see if the documentation for your stereo is available to get a better sense of how it works.
bluebrother:
Well, is this case that hard? The car stereo doesn't resume properly. Rockbox itself does resume properly. Thus, the issue is with the car stereo. If there's a difference between running Rockbox and the OF then the stereo does something when it detects an Ipod -- when running Rockbox it will detect a UMS device like any other USB drive. Especially Rockbox UMS mode does not support the special SCSI commands the OF does so there is a good chance the car stereo is using that command to recognize an Ipod.
Anyway, as Rockbox behaves as expected but the car stereo not this is not a Rockbox issue and has nothing to do with sleep mode.
Spoonman:
actually it is a cheap tevion car3000 with bluetooth, mp3 sd-mmc and usb, i did not find anything about this on the web, but the manual does not loose a word about ipods...
i guess that like linuxstb said the faster resume of the device could make the difference on this.
