Playlist question

washburn_it

Hi,

is there a way or a setting (even if I didn't find it) so that when I turn on the Rune-server the current track of the playlist is the last played before it was turned off?
I noticed that everytime it starts, the playlist currently loaded starts (again) from the 1st track.
Thank you, regards and Happy New 2016.

Hi Roberto,

is there a way or a setting (even if I didn't find it) so that when I turn on the Rune-server the current track of the playlist is the last played before it was turned off?

This is exactly the way it works for me on my Pi2 with "state file" enabled on the MENU->MPD page.

Thanks Frank, I will try to enable that option.
Happy new year.

That option is already enabled but it didn't work the way that is expected.
It's installed on a B+, maybe is a bug of the release for that version of PI?
May I do something?
Regards,

I also have a B+, and the feature works as intended; maybe some hick-up in write permissions?

I could try to disable, save and then enable and save to see what happens...

Hi washburn_it,

i do not have a RP1 running here, so i am unable to test and help at the moment.

Please take a look at the mpd state file (/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate).

[root@runeaudio ~]# cat /var/lib/mpd/mpdstate
sw_volume: 1
audio_device_state:1:bcm2835 ALSA_1
audio_device_state:1:bcm2835 ALSA_2
audio_device_state:1:snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus
state: stop
current: 2
time: 4.707000
random: 0
repeat: 0
single: 0
consume: 0
crossfade: 0

playlist_end

As you can see, mine is written each time i shutdown or restart rune audio.
The actual playlist and the current track gets saved in this file.

You can test this by executing these commands:

systemctl restart mpd
cat /var/lib/mpd/mpdstate

An other thing that could happen, is that your state file is corrupted.

Could I delete that file so that it is recreated?

Hi,

yes you can.

rm /var/lib/mpd/mpdstate
systemctl restart mpd
cat /var/lib/mpd/mpdstate

I didn't try to delete the file (to try this I have to dismount everything from the car) but I tried:

- to turn off from the Rune GUI while playing the playlist
- to stop the playlist and turn off

in both situations, after the reboot, the playlist started from the 1st song so, for a reason that I don't know, it seems not to save MPD data or, if data are saved, not to load saved data.
Volume level is correctly restored after a reboot but I don't know if that value is saved into the same file.
Is there other tests that I can do?
Regards,

Hi,

after some time I tried to do what suggested but no one of the suggested things worked.
I tried to delete the mpd state file (with the instruction of the above posts) but it didn't work.
I tried to delete everything in "/var/www" to update to the latest nightly but it didn't work.
I checked the content of the mpdstate file but even if the track playing was the #3, after I turned off and then on in the state file the parameter "current" is 1 and, in fact, after the reboot the playlist started from #1 again instead of #3.
I tried to install everything to a PI2 and the problem is not present, so it seems that it is affecting the B+ version (at least for me).
I'm currently using a B+ with 0.3-beta version (build 20141027), RuneUI 1.3.
What can I do?
Thanks, regards.

Roberto
