Start playing when files added to Playing Now: broken

(1/1)

dmitch77:
The "Start playing when files added to Playing Now" feature hasn't been working for me at least since MC 27.0.62, and it still doesn't work in 27.0.79. When I add a file to the end of playing now, when player is not playing, via any of these methods:

-- right click and select "Add to Playing Now"
-- double click, when configured so that this adds to end of Playing Now
-- add to Playing Now with JRemote

...the selection gets added to Playing Now correctly, but the player doesn't start playing. If MC has been sitting idle for hours, sometimes the feature works once. But inevitably, if I pause and try it again, it fails.

The "Start playing when files added to Playing Now" option is definitely enabled; I toggled it to be sure, restarted MC, updated to 27.0.79. The feature is not working for me now; I had been using it successfully for years.

Mac Mini, macOS 11.2.3
MC 27.0.62 and 27.0.79
JRemote 3.36 on iPad

Are you sure that's changed?
If I do any of the things you say when it's in stopped state it starts playing.
When it's in paused state it stays paused.

Matt thinks it's always been that way.

Not 100%.  :)

Hmmm. Do you think it should be? The setting says "Start playing when files added to Playing Now" but that's not what it's doing...

I agree that literally means it should start playing paused or not.
I'm not 100% sure though that's what most people would want.
