winamp not resuming music on restart

americasfuture2 · 03-29-2009, 08:58 PM

im using the latest version of ride runner, and winamp 5.xx. music does not automatically resume playing everytime pc boots up. what to do?

mitchjs · 03-30-2009, 12:21 PM

of course it does... when its asked too... resumemusic=2

also... we need to know more about your system.. HORM? or normal
how about exact version of winamp, RR and maybe your OS

also... we need to define what "music" really means, i guess in this case u mean
winamp... mp3... audio_player

if being asked to is an option in RRconfig, i think mine is not saving its settings then. im suspecting that on many reasons.

ah yes, system:

aopen mp915-b
look at my carputer description in my avatar side. i dont remember what all i have in there :P

no HORM, its Nlite'd XP, winamp v5.55, latest version to download (from last week), music meaning the kind of audio winamp can play. it shuts down completely, no hibernate. takes like 3-4 min just to resume!

look in rr.ini for
resumemusic=
set it to 2
resumemusic=2

3 to 4 mins to boot? resume, OUCH!!!!

as long as ur shutting down, winamp should save the playlist

rr, will save resume.ini

and that is used with resumemusic=2 in rr.ini

to play music...

do a simple test

start RR, go to audio_player(music/mp3) and play some music, now
exit RR with music still playing
then restart RR, does the music play where it left off when u exited?

right now without anything changed, it resumes playing when i close/open RR. its just when it shuts down. i dont recall if it resumes when i restart (start>restart). ill find out tomarrow next time im down back in the car.

sounds like something isn't closing properly

cause a restart, should close RR cleanly, if it does not, it wont resume!!

americasfuture2 · 04-01-2009, 12:36 PM

ok, so when restarting windoes, winamp does not resume. if i manually close RR, the reopen it, the music resumes. resumemusic= is set to "2". something isnt right...

mitchjs · 04-01-2009, 12:41 PM

so

i dont buy that

try

close RR with MUSIC PLAYING

restart windows

launch RR

does RR Resume?

outside of this test, how are u "restarting" windows...

If restarting = cold turkey then not rr's fault

americasfuture2 · 04-01-2009, 03:29 PM

hmm...so winamp is to blame? ill google that problem and see what comes up.

mitchjs · 04-01-2009, 04:41 PM

did u try that last test?

i dont think u mentioned it, when rr starts up after your "restart" is the play list intact?

remember, RR must close cleanly, for a resume point to be saved, and WINAMP needs to close cleanly for playlists to be saved, course RR does ask winamp to save its current playlist before rr exits... this all has to happen before windows shutdown...
hopefully u didnt mess with windows shutdown procedures

americasfuture2 · 04-01-2009, 08:48 PM

yes, the playlist is intact.

i havent messed with the shutdown procedures. that sounds like it is in the coding, and that is beyond me.

oh, just re-read your previous post, i didnt close RR and restart the computer....brb, ill try that since im not feeling lazy.

yes, the music does resume.

mitchjs · 04-01-2009, 09:25 PM

ok, so i dont get what the problem is...

no, u can change how windows shutsdown, ie how long it waits for applications to exit
could all be something in nlited xp

so how are u "restarting", should sounds like RR isnt closing, before you restart

americasfuture2 · 04-01-2009, 09:29 PM

i just click on restart. it looks like it forces RR to close cause it hangs for a second or two

mitchjs · 04-01-2009, 09:33 PM

where is this "restart"?

is it in RR?
