why does Rockbox keep resuming playback after restart?

(1/1)

MarkGaleck:
Hello,  I am using Rockbox with 4th gen iPod.  I use settings:  shuffle, repeat shuffle and  do not resume playback after startup.  Despite this, after turning off and back on, the playback of the shuffled playlist, is resumed from where it last finished.  Even after I reset the iPod, the same thing happens.  I downloaded a recent daily build, nope, same problem.  

Why is this so and how do I get Rockbox to re-shuffle the playlist every time I start playing it?  

Thank you for any insight, Mark Galeck

Llorean:
Are you pressing Play, or Select, on the playlist?

MarkGaleck:
I only have one playlist.  When Rockbox comes up, that list is highlighted already.  Then I press the "Play" button to play it, and it always resumes from where I last ended, even after hard reset.  

Thank you for replying!  Mark

Llorean:
Okay, I take it you haven't read the manual.

1) Resume after startup automatically resumes playback. Since you have to press a button to resume, that function is working as intended.

2) The Play button is the resume button. If playback is already happening, it brings you to the WPS. If playback is not happening, it resumes the last used playlist. Even across reboots. You can never start a new playlist with it, ONLY resume, which is why it's not reshuffling.

The center button, called Select, is how you actually launch a playlist, which is the only way to trigger it to reshuffle and shuffling only happens when you start a playlist, or when the playlist reaches the end and starts over (if the settings are right for this).

I strongly suggest you read the manual and learn how to operate the software, as you would have received your answer in a much quicker manner as well as not having to install other builds.

Sorry - I did RTFM, I just must have forgotten - I am sorry for bothering you then.  I thank you for your reply.
