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

<< < (8/9) > >>

fredex:
after a loooong hiatus, I can add a little more information:

this problem restarting from power off does not occur with every playlist (re-reading above I see that I was not clear on that). Some books seem to do it a lot, and once they start doing it I"m at a loss as to how to fix it.

however: the play lists for these books are just a straight listing of filenames that seem to naturally sort into the correct order (alphabetical/numeric sort seems to be the default on rockbox), so that if instead of using the playlist, I go to the directory where the actual files are stored and play the first one, then all the rest properly play in order no matter how many times the player is paused or powered off/on.

I've also tried the (then) latest dev builds 2 or 3 times with my fingers crossed, but no joy: the issue will still occur.

ThomasG:
First, I love rockbox, too: file support, vorbis ...

I’ve got the same problem on my SanDisk+. And it’s still there with 3.14 and also wasn’t before I updated to 3.13 (I guess) some years ago. (Unfortunately I don’t know which firmware I used before.)
Here are some hints from my direction, because now we may find what Fredex, Alexweissman and I have common.

Like they said, it sometimes works like intended and often doesn’t. Then it resumes with the first track of the list.

I tried it with m3u (ANSI) and m3u8 (UTF-8) lists, with characters like apostrophe, with blank line at the end and without, to see if that’s the problem. I made a simple m3u list within the same folder like the files (so no path, just the filenames). It happens in all different cases.

Sometimes it happens only on one song. I can reproduce it by always going forward to THAT song, pressing Power to stop and “Resume Playback”. Then it happens on another track and suddenly everything is working right again. And then the problem returns. I just have to chose the track by going forward and stop (so it plays only for a second). I can’t see any pattern in this behaviour.

The ".playlist_control" file’s content always looks like following even if the player does not forget the song. But where is the current song stored? The only other written file is “nvram.bin”.

Bilgus:
I think this is fixed in the latest dev versions http://build.rockbox.org/

ThomasG:
Unfortunately the (at this moment) latest development build for Sansa Clip+ (build 7a8c9da) didn’t fix it. Problem is still there.

Bilgus:
can you make a sample of the smallest possible case for which it occurs and upload it somewhere for someone to peruse
like 3 songs and a playlist that doesn't resume properly?
