playlists start over

fredex:
Is the patch in #6, above, now available in the dev (daily??) builds?

I've had a similar problem for years on all my Sansa players (Fuze v2, clip zip) where some small number of audiobooks always start over at the first track whenever the player is restarted, so I'm wondering if I should try this fix... If not available in the dev builds, is there a build (based on 3.14) I can get that contains the fix, so I can try it?

At the moment there is one audiobook for which that seems to happen all the time.

all my playlists are generated by a Linux shellscript, make-m3u, all in exactly the same way, and they are created from the point of view of the SD card, so they all have the correct path-to-file in them. if I understand the patch description (and I may well not) it is some kind of discrepancy between the playlist and database?????

thank in advance!

I'm having the same problem on my ClipZip using the build from today (and all previous ones since 3.14). I can load a pre-made m3u playlist and it will play songs just fine. But after I shut off my ClipZip and turn it back on, it will restart the playlist from the beginning rather than play from where the last song left off.

If you need more info or to try a test of anything, just let me know!

Guru: that's exactly what happens to me, but its only on a very few playlists, and not 100% of the time (only about 90%  >:( ) I'm currently playing one that has been bad and this time thru, so far, its working fine. Go Figure.

If instead of selecting the playlist, I go to the folder where the files are and start playing them, they work fine. its onlywith my m3u8 playlist that it usually fails.

If you're using the latest build and it doesn't solve it, then either (1) the fix didn't get into current builds, or (2) we've got another problem entirely.

I'd like to get a reply from jhMikeS regarding the disposition of the patch. that would shed a bit of light on it.

saratoga:
That patch was committed on the 7th, so if it didn't fix it, then you've got a different problem.

TheAlmightyGuru:
I've found a pattern!

When the songs in the playlist begin with a current or parent directory operator, Rockbox fails to remember the last song after shutdown and restarts the playlist from the beginning. For example, this playlist will fail to remember:

./Artist/Song 1.ogg
./Artist/Song 2.ogg

And so will this one:

../Music/Artist/Song 1.ogg
../Music/Artist/Song 2.ogg

However, when I remove the current or parent directory operator, Rockbox properly remembers the last song. So, this one works:

Artist/Song 1.ogg
Artist/Song 2.ogg

Fredex, can you verify this on your ClipZip?
