Automatic playback on startup

<< < (3/5) > >>

Bilgus:
That is exactly what I was going to try but I wanted to guarantee that it would work, its hard telling how many 'ticks' (1/100) of a second its going to count to before it gets to my code, but hey if its good enough for your use why not leave it as is

gaugino:
Dear Bilgus,

my question was just for fun :) Everything is fine now, and please don't spend your time on it (but of course, if it is interesting for you or if it can be useful for future builds, I am ready to be a tester :) ).

gaugino:
Just to add. I think that in principle such an option in the Settings menu, if ever added to the main release, could be useful for someone. It is indeed convenient to go to the previous screen after power up (there would be no such an option if it was useless). Moreover, if this previous screen is WPS, sometimes it is convenient when the playback starts automatically (but not always). However, when you plug the player, say, to the charger; or disconnect it from the PC, the playback also starts automatically. The latter is not good, in particular, when you forget to press PAUSE just after plugging the player to a charger and two hours later find your audiobook in a completely different timestamp :) Or if your player is connected to the stereo system and the volume is high :)

If I were able to add such a feature by myself, no doubt I would do it . But now many thanks to Bilgus!

Bilgus:
I added this functionality in a patch on gerrit
http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1675/

Needs testing..

gaugino:
Hi!
I am ready to do the test. Where can I get the compiled firmware?
