Trying to play videos

MVP log from trying to watch my Kidzone directory which three recordings in it but it only played the first.

A week later & I know you are busy so I will ask again when is a good time to bump this thread??

This patch should fix it on the MVP/NMT.

Thanks for the update, it works on an MVP. I don't have an NMT to try on, but I can confirm that Play All now works on an MVP.

Unfortunately it only fixes it 50% for me, pressing play on the folder from the folder view now works fine thanks, but pressing play on the [..] it brings up the resume restart popup (which I'm not sure is a good thing in this situation anyway?) & no matter which I select it goes back to displaying the files in the folder & just sits there.

I know at one time the [..] caused a problem with audio files too. I don't know if it is fixed but my question is what should it do. nothing? play all the files one level up like dir ..?

This is what sub said in another thread recently...

sub Wrote:There is a couple of hidden tricks you can do. If you have a folder highlighted on the list, and press 'play', then it'll queue the files in the directory and play them.

Also, if you're in a directory of files, and have [..] selected, then press 'play', it'll the least recently watched, or oldest if none have been watched. Not quite what you asked for, but can be useful if the kids want to play a video thay havnt seen recently.

If you press Play with [..] selected in the Music Library, it'll play all the files in the current directory.

Ok, thanks, I wasn't sure. I have noticed that "Play" on a single audio or video file does nothing on the PC or NMT.

@Jaggy, I certainly would want the resume prompt in case I accidentally started via the [..] and not the file.

I just tried it here on the PC, and it started playback for me.
