"resume playback" suddenly starts at beginning of playlist instead of whre I was

I reported this a long time ago as FS#12864.

First of all, just want to say that I love Rockbox.  It has turned my cheap Clip+ into a mighty music powerhouse.

But, I think I'm having the same problem that these guys are having with the new version (3.13).  My config.cfg file:

# .cfg file created by rockbox 3.13 - http://www.rockbox.org

--- Code: ---volume: -24
start directory: /<microSD1>/
autocreate bookmarks: on
autoupdate bookmarks: on
autoload bookmarks: on
use most-recent-bookmarks: on
autoresume enable: on
database scan paths: /<microSD1>
tagcache_autoupdate: on
fmr: /.rockbox/fmpresets/preset01.fmr
start in screen: wps
playlist catalog directory: /<microSD1>/Playlists
Semitone pitch change: on
--- End code ---

Maybe I'm not understanding the way that bookmarks and autoresume work, and how they interact with one another.  Basically, what I want is to be able to pause at any point in a playlist (dynamic or preset), and then either turn off my device manually or allow it to turn itself off automatically, and then have playback automatically resume at the same point in the same track where it left off.

It seems like sometimes it will behave in the desired manner, but sometimes it will just restart the playlist from the beginning.  If I let it play from the beginning of the playlist, then sometimes it will get to the track where I had paused and resume that track.  I'm assuming that it's not just a "random" behavior, and that there are some specific conditions when this happens.  But, it seems to be a somewhat complex set of conditions and I'm finding it difficult to tease out the cause.

I realize that Rockbox has a LOT of customizability, and I appreciate that.  But for this particular aspect, I just want my device to behave "normally".  What would be the sane, "express" settings to achieve this?

You should update your build, even if it doesn't fix the issue you're talking about, update it anyway.

The release build is very far from new, you're missing out on the better part of two years worth of bugfixes and improvements.

Alright, I'll try that when I get home tonight.  Should I just use the latest nightly build, or is there a build that is considered "stable"?

Also, I'm not sure but I think this issue might be related to the "auto power down" feature.  I think it might only happen when I pause a playlist, leave it alone, and then Rockbox automatically shuts down.  Then when I turn it back on, the playlist starts over from the beginning.  I'll try to test this a little more rigorously.

alexweissman:
Ok, I tried a few experiments:

Experiment #1:
Database->Albums->Select Track
Play for a while
Pause
Wait for auto-shutdown
Turn player back on
Playlist resumes as expected

Experiment #2:
Playlist Catalogue->Select Playlist
Play for a while
Pause
Wait for auto-shutdown
Turn player back on
Playlist starts over at beginning

It is important to note that this only happens when I start playing a playlist that hasn't already bookmarked itself in some other way, such as if I paused the playlist and then started playing another playlist.  In that case, when I go back to the playlist it seems to resume where it left off (which is usually what I don't want to happen in that case, ironically).

Does Rockbox keep track of my position in a playlist exclusively through bookmarks?  Or, is there some other way?
