Restarting in Satellite Radio mode > no auto start of music

**rcdash** · 02-27-2006, 08:54 AM

To StreetDeck Developers,

I have noticed that if the system shuts down (not hibernate) while playing Sat Radio, when it restarts it will come back to the Sat Radio screen but will not start actually playing music. You have to select a station again.

Is this the correct behavior?

(If playing from recorded music, it does start playing again automatically where it left off).

Which XM radio are using and how is it connected?

fwiw, I'm using an XMDirect connected via TimeTrax.

I was also using a TimeTrax module with XMDirect, but I recently got a serial cable off this forum (see classifieds) and directly connected the XMDirect to the PC and it works better - seems to not have 'USB' delay issues -starts up quicker and more reliably.

Anyway it's not really a "bug" more than a inconvenience of having to push the screen to get the music going again.

well today it started up and just started playing - in sat radio.

Maybe this has something to do with the settings on exit?

I have it set to save settings every one minute.

SD usually starts up where it left off in Music mode for me.

If it was playing on exit, it should be playing when starting back up. There is an option for this in the startup settings that has to be enabled for it to start playing on startup.
