Secondary start screen?

(1/3) > >>

unknownsoldierx:
I prefer to have 'now playing' as my start screen.  But if there is no song to resume from the last session, it goes to the main screen.  It would be great if there was an option for a secondary start screen, so that I could set it to go to the database screen instead of the main screen.

torne:
Sounds useful actually, so I'll see about implementing it :)

As far as the UI for configuring this.. I was thinking we could remove Now Playing from the startup screen selection, and have a yes/no toggle for "Resume playback on power on" instead - the startup screen choice would then be used if there was nothing to resume or if resuming was disabled. Does that sound sensible?

unknownsoldierx:
Sounds perfect to me.

Llorean:
There used to be a "resume playback on startup" option that was replaced with the startup screen option.

Isn't there an option to start up on the screen you shut down on? Wouldn't that solve this problem? If the music was launched from the database, then you'd either shut down to resume playback when you booted back up, or if music had ended, you'd boot back up into the database.

torne:
I didn't realise it used to be that way, but yah, I'm suggesting re-adding that setting and removing WPS from the choice of startup screen.

I can't try it at the moment because I'm battery benching but I don't think setting it to return to the last screen will work on all players - on the ipod holding play/pause triggers 'stop' first before poweroff and thus I *presume* the last screen would be wherever stop chooses to return to, not the WPS, even if there was something to resume.
