from the wiki:
Volume Protection is a feature to prevent unexpectedly loud output. It is useful in cases where you connect Media Center to a high-gain amplifier where unexpected output at full volume could damage equipment or your ears.
Volume protection does the following:
Makes it so that it isn't possible to increase the volume by more than 5% at a time (so accidentally clicking 100% on the slider will not go to 100%)
Makes it so that the volume can not be increased by more than 20% a second
Makes it so that starting playback if nothing has played for 30 minutes sets the volume to 20% (unless the volume is already lower)
the last point "Makes it so that starting playback if nothing has played for 30 minutes sets the volume to 20% " is not how it behaves.
when i play a song longer then 30 minutes without pause or anything, the volume will drop back to 20 % at the end of the song (actualy a few seconds before that).
same happens when a song is paused and the total time of start of the song and the pause is over 30 minutes.
and i saw this happen when playing videoos too.
should the volume protection not check first if indeed nothing is playing, before dropping the volume :)

I've had that problem as well. Every once in a while it randomly drops down to 20.

for me it is not random. it happens every time. play a song longer then 30 minutes and 6 (i think) seconds for the end the volume drops.

Good find.
Next build:
Fixed: When playing a long track, volume protection could incorrectly engage and set the volume to 20% when switching to the next track.

I just checked all of my songs and the longest was 28:17. You must be listening to classical music.

no not really, they seem to split that up in lentos, allegretos, adagios and allegros, etc every other few minutes. :) the problem is with jazz and (pothead) rock ;) mostly, and with some world music and avantgarde music, longest 1 hour and 7 mins. some names: the allman brother band (mountain jam), mountain (nantucket sleigh ride), phish, some john zorn stuff, miles, coltrane and fred frith, swan, shakti and even neil young . :)
:P

Did you check out Mahler and the other mega-late-romantic composers? ;D

it works great now. much better when a long track has been played, and like i just 'tested', a part of a serie longer then 30 minutes is watched.
