Resume positions stored in bookmarks take precedence over autoresume. Technically, the resume position for the "Resume Playback" function (which is also saved across power-off/power-on) also takes precedence over autoresume. However, there is no way for a user to tell as it is identical to the autoresume position for the last-played track, so don't highlight it in the manual. git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@29548 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657

\section{\label{ref:Autoresumeconfigactual}Automatic resume}
|
|
|
|
The automatic resume feature stores and recalls resume positions for
|
|
all tracks without user intervention. These resume points are stored
|
|
in the database, and thus automatic resume only works when the
|
|
database has been initialized.
|
|
|
|
When automatic resume is enabled, manually selected tracks resume
|
|
playback at their last playback position. It does not matter in which
|
|
way you start the track; tracks are resumed whether they are navigated
|
|
to through the database browser or file browser, by starting a
|
|
playlist, or by skipping through tracks in the current playlist. (As
|
|
an exception, when a track is resumed by loading a bookmark, the
|
|
playback position saved in the bookmark takes precedence.)
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can also enable automatic resume for automatic track
|
|
transitions. In this case, the next track will be resumed as well
|
|
instead of starting playback at its beginning. This is most useful
|
|
for podcasts, and can be enabled on a per-directory basis.
|
|
|
|
A track's resume position is updated whenever playback of that track
|
|
stops, including when explicitly stopping the track, powering off the
|
|
\dap{}, or starting playback of another track.
|
|
|
|
If you intend to start a track from its beginning but notice that it
|
|
was resumed, you can press \ActionWpsSkipPrev{} in the WPS to skip back to
|
|
its beginning. When pressing \ActionWpsSkipPrev{} again in the first few
|
|
seconds of a track to go to the previous track, the previously (on
|
|
first button press) saved resume position is retained. Therefore, you
|
|
can also use \ActionWpsSkipPrev{} and \ActionWpsSkipNext{} to skip
|
|
across tracks in a playlist without losing their resume position.

|
\item[Automatic resume.] This option enables or disables automatic
|
|
resume globally. When Rockbox detects that the database (which is
|
|
needed for this feature) has not been initialized yet, it asks
|
|
whether it should be initialized right away.
|
|
|
|
\item[Resume on automatic track change.] Controls whether the next
|
|
track in an automatic track transition should be resumed at its last
|
|
playback position as well.
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[No.] Automatic resume works only for manual track selection.
|
|
\item[Yes.] Always attempt to resume -- for both manual and
|
|
automatic track changes.
|
|
\item[In custom directories only.] Configure directories in which to
|
|
enable resume on automatic track change. Selecting this option
|
|
starts the text editor, in which you can enter the (absolute,
|
|
case-insensitive) directory names separated by colons (``:'').
|
|
|
|
A typical value is ``/podcast'', which matches all files in
|
|
directories \fname{/PODCAST}, \fname{/Podcast} or \fname{/podcast}
|
|
and their subdirectories, but not in directories \fname{/podcasts}
|
|
(mind the trailing ``s'') or \fname{/audio/podcast}.
