Thread: RESUME after hibernate frodoplayer paused until user input

I am seeing this too. I've even gone as far as creating a macro exe that moves the mouse. I added this to the Frodo-Resume options but it doesn't execute until I provide some user input....go figure!

To make matters worse.... if i don't provide user input within 5-10 minutes my machine hibernates.

any ideas?

not to state the obvious but have you checked your power saving settings for hibernating after so many minutes idle?

i tried something similar to your mouse moving idea with no success. i found a program that would move your mouse every couple of seconds (some kind of gag program that someone wrote) and ran that before hibernating. after resuming from hibernate, the mouse would move every 5 seconds, but still no response from frodoplayer or navivoice. however winamp resumed playing music just fine. it has to be a driver issue. something specific to laptops maybe, but i've tried disabling everything i could in device manager but i still get the same thing. i haven't a clue what could be causing this. the weird thing is that winamp will run fine after hibernate, but frodo and navivoice hang. the only solution i can come up with is to open up my laptop case and hook up a delayed pulse to the screen open/close switch. i happened to notice that opening and closing the screen would un-hang frodo and navivoice just like pressing a key or moving the mouse. it's a very round about way to work around the problem but i have tried everything i know to do.

weird...i'm gonna have to check this hibernate after 5 minutes thing on mine too.

do you guys have laptops or regular desktop mobo's?

Yeah, I checked this... thanks for the suggestion. When I move the mouse or hit a key, the computer will stay on indefinitely... so it can't be power saving settings. I am using an emachines mobo as well so it's not specific to laptops either. I will have to be a little more creative to find a valid workaround like you've done.

If you think about it, say you go into hibernation at 5pm and resume again at 7pm - your computer is going to suddenly think it's been idle for 2 hours.

Well that's just a theory, I'm probably talking crap

I didn't think about this... Mine is configured to turn the monitor off after 30 min. But under normal operation, the monitor turns off and the music continues to play. I would expect the computer to do the same (continue playing) once resuming from hibernation.... But I will try this tonite unless someone already has.
