Title: Startup volume still not working....
Post by: Trumpetguy on October 02, 2012, 01:02:48 pm
I started this thread in MC17, and I see no difference in 18:

I use Internal Volume, have startup volume set to 30%, Volume protection is on, max volume is set to 90%. Still, the volume on startup is whatever it was when playback stopped or when MC was shut down.

This started occuring in some of the latest 17 builds, and I have no idea when.

Is there anything I can check, any error report/log file or anything that can give answers?

I read mojaves post in this new thread:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=74807.0 (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=74807.0)

....which explains why startup volume never works. I always have Media Server running, and restarting MC does obviously not reset the volume when the server is running. I did not know that.

Question is - why?  I fail to see how a remote client would care about the volume settings for the MC running on the host computer. I would believe it more convenient if startup volume was independent of any server running? Can this be changed? Alternatively, I would appreciate if  someone would care to explain to me why not.
