Description Nate Graham 2019-05-30 22:14:50 UTC

Elisa from git master


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start playing music
2. Wait until it's the middle of a song
3. Quit Elisa
3. Open Elisa again

OBSERVED RESULT
Elisa resumes the music from the exact place where it left off. If the last time I opened Elisa was hours or days ago, this is very disorienting because it just starts playing right in the middle, disconnected from what I was doing before.

EXPECTED RESULT
Elisa does not immediately start playing music again.


I personally really dislike this feature in music players and always turn it off. Alas, in Elisa is't not configurable. I would recommend making it configurable and default to off.

A third option similar to the existing toggle Shuffle/Repeat buttons could be a sensible option to the users that would like to disable such behavior.

Comment 2 Martin Steigerwald 2019-06-09 10:44:44 UTC

I can confirm this with 0.4.0 (soon to enter Debian archive).

Comment 4 Matthieu Gallien 2019-11-20 06:25:27 UTC

I will work on it.

Comment 5 Matthieu Gallien 2019-11-20 06:38:22 UTC

Sorry for the confusion, I fear I cannot land this into release branch that is feature frozen.
What do you think ?

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2019-11-20 15:48:52 UTC

Depends on whether you see this as a bugfix or a new feature. However if it includes any new strings, that's a good sign that it's a new feature and needs to land on master. ...which is fine. We can wait. :)

Comment 7 Matthieu Gallien 2020-03-21 16:27:41 UTC

I am no longer able to reproduce this bug.

Is anybody still able to reproduce it ?

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2020-03-21 17:04:15 UTC

Yep, it still happens for me with git master.

Sorry, I have confused this bug with another one (#417617)
