music defaults to first song on open

You refer to this line I assume?

"KillWinamp","RunQ;$skinpath$scripts\Kill_Task.exe |winamp.exe"

Is there a way to change that to make it run the proper command to end the program rather than killing it? It's not a huge issue, it's just bothering me because I don't remember this happening with the old install

Just change it to:
"KillWinamp",""

Under "NORMAL" circumstances, there's no need to kill winamp.

Thanks, that helped a lot. It only works now if I exit RR before I shut down the pc (shutting down without exiting still forgets the current track) but at least I have a way to preserve the track number

How are you shutting down ? power button ? shutdown option in RR ? I suggest you try different methods to see if it makes a difference.

I'm now having the same problem. I've been using RR with the DFX skin for years now and this has just started. Whenever I close RR and restart only the first song in the playlist that was loaded at the time of close will appear. I have verified that resume mode is set to always in RRConfig and that resumemusic=2 in rr.ini.

I have now done fresh installs of both RR and DFX on two computers and it's happening on both. I have verified that resume works fine with Carwings, but it now does not work with DFX. DFX has not changed in over a year so it must have something to do with the new RR version and how it interacts with DFX. Any thoughts?

I'll post this in the DFX thread as well.

Thanks in advance.

Well why is it in there then? Have you tested this yourself? What is it doing exactly?

**mitchjs** · 11-22-2009, 10:06 PM

good question, its in the skin... only john who made the skin, can answer that

what happens is, the winamp task it forced ended, and RideRunner therefore cannot get the last playing information

Two ways...

#1
In the skins exectbl.ini, file find this line:
"KillWinamp","RunQ;$skinpath$scripts\Kill_Task .exe |winamp.exe"
and make it
"KillWinamp",""

#2
Open up the Exit_Menu.skin, look for this line
B01,55,418,366,60,"KillWinamp||QUIT","QUIT"
and change to
B01,55,418,366,60,"QUIT","QUIT"

This has already been removed for the next version.
