Title: Another Hotkey issue
Post by: boleary on March 18, 2011, 11:05:41 am
I've put my cheap pc in my signature cause I realize that it may have something to do with some issues that I have; but I must say that generally speaking I do have glitchless playback here, though I must use mixed contiguous to use a higher SFS. Was listening to music yesterday from 3pm to 1 am and had gaps in playback once; when an HDCD was playing. I unticked "Decode HDCD" and all was fine thereafter.

I do notice though that since 9z-4-1, the ALT E command to pause a CD is now just like the ALT S command; XX completely quits. Conversely, and it seems they must be related, I cannot now slide the progress slider to a particular portion of a track and then hit ALT P. When I do, play always starts at the beginning of the track.

 Before I was able to use ALT E to pause and resume play at that point. And I could put the slider to any portion of a track and play would begin there. It seems that stopping services resets everything to the beginning of a track.

These functions are nice when I'm trying to discern differences between Schemes and other XX settings, though I think I'm just going to be doing alot of listening and far less fiddling with settings for at least a month.  :)

I did not know that ... But to be sure : do you mean Attended here ?

This is because you use Alt-P (or actually the "Do not start Playback at all" setting). I couldn't get that together in the time I took for it.
Solution : don't use the "Do not start Playback at all". It's far less convenient too (because of waiting for those Services to stop), plus I don't think it matters. Chances are high this setting will be removed from the program.

You are right. I unticked "Do not Start playback" and I can now move the slider and play will begin where I set it.

Regarding Alt E, I'm in unattended and it remains unchanged; XX simply quits.

But what do you mean "XX quits" ??

Sound should stop ...
(and Alt-P continues again)

Stupid, studpid, stupid, me that is. You can remove this post. Wrong assumption here. When I hit ALT E the desktop reappears and it looks identicle to hitting ALT S, BUT if I then hit ALT P, THE DESKTOP DISAPPEARS AND PLAY RESUMES WHERE I HIT ALT E. Its just the appearance of the desktop when I hit ALT E that is different......

Yikes! So the slider works (unticking "No Playback") and ALT E works.

Sorry about that.
