Audiobooks resume not fully working (build 1439) [#8461]

Post by lucid »

I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem getting audiobooks to resume? This applies to both selecting an 'album' from within the audiobooks node and selecting play now and also a playlist which is catergorized as an audiobook. I have checked the settings and playback rules for 'Audiobook' has 'enable bookmarking' checked. I've also ensured that MM classifies 'any' for various criteria (mainly every genre which is a variant of audiobook, e.g. spoken word) as being Audiobook because before it was putting audiobooks in the Music node for some reason when the 'all' was selected for the different specified criteria. Running on Windows 7 x64. Have also tried running MM as Administrator and in compatibility mode.

Also, for some reason, if instead I right click an album for some audiobooks from within the audiobooks node (using main windows where it lists 'albums'/books) it resumes with some audiobooks and not others. So far only tested with mp3 audiobooks.

Previously I've been using Jetaudio for the last 5 years for audiobooks/spoken word and it works flawlessly for resuming (usually i make a playlist for each audiobook and double clicking the playlist cause Jetaudio to resume instantly from the last position played using an automatic bookmark/resume function) upto a limit of 100 bookmarks. It would be nice if MM were able to emulate because I do prefer using MM since it is otherwise a superior piece of software for my needs.

Thanks

I have not tried with audiobooks but for videos and podcasts it seems to be working fine.

I think the point being raised is that although MM bookmarks the position within a track, it doesn't bookmark the position within a set (Album/Series/Podcast) of tracks.

So it would only apply to the art view? Otherwise wouldn't you have to double click the specific track in question in order to play it?

Yes--I think that's what Lucid is saying--that clicking an Album should resume playback at the correct track and position.

Lucid, care to comment?
