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

<< < (9/9)

qhorin:
Just switched from an ancient custom build on my now sadly defunct Clip+ to a bleeding edge custom build (mainly for your power saving and multiboot patches, Bilgus, thanks!) on my new ClipZip.
Ran into the same exact issues described here and in FS#12864.

I know that the following observations are basically worthless until I have verified with an unmodified non-multiboot dev build, but here is what I have noticed so far:

* The bug appears only sporadically and is thus hard to reproduce. Sometimes the exact same playlist will resume correctly, sometimes it won't.
* Dynamically created playlists from folders with a lot of (500+) files and quickly pausing multiple times after skipping many (5+) tracks seem to produce the issue more often than folders with less files.
* I am booting rockbox from my external sdcard. All my media is on this storage device.
The resume bug (so far) only appears when working with relative (or rather symlinked? loopmounted? not sure how rockbox handles storage integration into root) paths (/MUSiC/* instead of <microSD1>/MUSiC/*)
Will check back in once I can provide some actual information on how to reproduce this behavior with a current dev build.

I'm running into the same issue, and would like to add a bit more info.

When I am listening to a playlist and then turn off the player, 95% of the time the playlist will begin at the beginning of the first track. When this doesn't occur is usually when I immediately restart the player within 1-2 seconds.

When I browse to a file in a folder, play it, and restart the player, it will pick up where I left off 100% of the time.

Using Clip+, latest dev build.

Hello. It is an old topic, but I'd like to contibute, with a different approach, and, hopefully, a solution.
I recently had the issue of playlist resuming from the very first track, after a shutdown. My player is an iRiver H340 with a Toshiba disk of 80Gb. Rockbox is 3.14.
Some playlists I added recently were behaving as above. I had compiled the playlists with Media Monkey 4.1.24.1083. I have configured it (in settings) to export m3u playlists in UTF8. I also export them in the root directory of my laptop. I use the same folder structure in both my laptop and the H340, eg. \Music\somefolder\somefolder, etc.
The tracks in these playlists were in absolute path, but driveless, and more important, with no "\" at the beggining: eg.
Music\somefolder\song1
and not: \Music\somefolder\song1
The player recognized them and played them fine, ecxept for the resume problem.
I had many other playlists with the "\" at the begining of the tracks path and the resume were fine, from the point where they had stopped.
So I changed the path (from Music\somefolder\song1 to \Music\somefolder\song1), saved the playlists, copied them to the player and the problem went away.
The change of the path was easily performed with Notepad: replace "Music" with "\Music", replace all, and save as m3u.
I hope this helps.
