Semi Hold mode?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Kugelcooker:
A) where on earth is the "turn of on headphone unplug" option? or is that only an option available for ipods? i'd love to have it on my Iriver H10.

B) - Alexp -what did you mean? isn't rockbox about being able to customise the experience? doesn't the existence of this thread say that there are those that don't view hold as an absolute...?

Personally enabling pause even while hold was on would be right up there on my player dreamlist and would definitely influence what firmware i'd use. No offense, but that's how it is :o

Yotto:
A) I have no idea if it's only on iPods. On my iPod it's in Menu->Settings->Playback, about halfway down the menu. I suppose you need a player that can detect if the headphones are plugged in.

I won't answer B) but I don't think anybody would take offense to you not using Rockbox. And I also don't mean that to be taken as offensive.

Kugelcooker,

To me, "Hold" means:

"Stop me from being able to make accidental button presses"

Enabling even one button to work whilst hold is on still leaves the element of an accidental button press, what if you have it on "Hold" and *accidentally* press pause?
You wouldn't find that annoying?

I would...


Hold is Hold...to me, with no exceptions.

A) This option ("Pause on Headphone Unplug") is supported on all players on which the hardware is capable of detecting the headphones being unplugged.  Gigabeats have this option.  The MR-100 has it too.

B) Rockbox runs in embedded environments and seeks to maintain a small footprint while providing maximum functionality.  Realistically, not every possible feature can be added to the core firmware binary.  Each feature needs to be carefully considered and its potential benefits weighed against increase in size. 

You are free to use whichever firmware you like on your devices.  This is a personal decision and this isn't likely to make very much impact on the decisions made by developers.

As for this particular feature, I also think that Hold should function according to well-defined expected behavior.

That really only makes sense on targets where pocket presses are easy on all buttons (i.e ipods). I really like the D2 OF which lets you change what the +M- buttons do with hold on, you can set it to do nothing, next/prev track, or volume. It works well there because most functions use the touchsceen and those actual buttons are rather hard to accidentally press
