Video resumption to last played position still does not work

<< < (14/17) > >>

mattkhan:
What is your standard test case for reproducing this? Is it just play video, stop, play  audio, stop, play video?

My setup is quite similar at first glance (use zones and switch rules to apply different DSP for different content) and the bookmark feature has always been quite hit and miss, i.e. appears to work at random. It is not an important feature to me though so I have never investigated further or commented on it.

Yes, though it was thought to occur only on full folder Blu-ray rips. In Paul's case, made using RedFox AnyDVD HD. Paul also has video pause when entering Theatre View, and often uses Back to stop playing a video instead of Stop, but that is okay because MC now saves Bookmarks when a video is paused.

Paul is going to check if it happens with other files formats.

If the functionality appears to work at random for you Matt, maybe it is both Zoneswitch and format specific. It always works for me with full folder rips of my Blu-rays made using DVDfab and just one Zone.

One thing that is obvious from the logs is that it can take "quite a while" to actually save the Bookmark after a video is stopped. i.e. 25 seconds. That may have some impact on the process, although I would hope that MC cleans up any pending actions properly.

I have been struggling with an issue where, when watching movies, all the music is deafening, while the speech is barely audible, for years. I still struggle with it.

Why do you think that is?  When listening to movies through headphones, which are just stereo, everything sounds balanced to me.  Are you *not* doing JRSS downmixing?  Do your speakers have no midrange drivers?  (kidding!)   Seems like an odd problem.

My test results

test 1
- play full folder bd rip (via anydvd)
- press stop
- check bookmark (bookmark is set)
- press play
- playback resumes from the start as if the bookmark never existed

test 2
- play mkv
- press stop
- check bookmark (bookmark is set)
- press play
- playback resumes from the bookmark

test 3
- (continues from test 2)
- stop playback
- start audio playback
- stop audio
- start mkv
- playback starts from fresh again

I used a keyboard for this test btw, no theatre view involved just direct keyboard control of the MC client.

If you want any logs then let me know what you want and I'll conduct specific tests in separate logs.

RoderickGI:
Interesting Matt. Different again.

Bookmarks always work for me under your Test 1 scenario, as long as I am far enough into the movie, and not too close to the end. i.e. At least 60 seconds into the movie, and no more than 96% of the way through it. Jumping forward or Fast Forwarding into the movie is required and doesn't affect the outcome of the test. If that is repeatable for you, I would like to see a log.

Test 2 confirms normal behaviour for MKVs, as I get, and Test 3 confirms what Paul sees, but for MKV files. I think we should leave this one for Paul to test and supply a log.

Thanks for adding your voice, Matt.
