resume playback of recording from last location

[Wakalaka]

When playing a recording, the Play button in the UI should do as normal, which is play from beginning of recording.

Add another button Resume that will be disabled if the recording has never been played, or the last playback went all the way to the end. Otherwise let user click button, and it resumes playback from last location.

Would be nice to add a keyboard combo. Ctrl-P is Play, why not make Ctrl-R as Resume?

This exists. Check your config

Where?

Ok, I give you that it wasn't too easy to find. I actually thought there were settings for this in the config app. Turns out I can only find "prompt for resume" on the misc tab. The rest you need to edit config.xml yourself in c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr

Play with these settings, but do take a backup of config.xml first :

Code:

<PromptForResume>true</PromptForResume>
  <UseMenuResumeButton>true</UseMenuResumeButton>
  <StoreResumeStartExclusion>0</StoreResumeStartExclusion>
  <StoreResumeEndExclusion>0</StoreResumeEndExclusion>

Will play with them and post what each means. I searched and found 1 post for UseMenuResumeButton, and 0 for the other 3 items. Just fiddled with them, I get the prompt for Resume or Restart when I set PromptForResume to true. I can't tell what the other 3 are doing.

Thanks for the help!

Please do. I have a hunch, but not sure enough to go public with it

Stefan (or sub if you want to jump in) what do the

Code:

<StoreResumeStartExclusion>0</StoreResumeStartExclusion>
<StoreResumeEndExclusion>0</StoreResumeEndExclusion>

Tags do? Is there any way for the play back position of a video to be the full length of the video??

[stefan]

I don't know. But I guess that it means that for the resume button to show, you must have watched at least <StoreResumeStartExclusion> number of seconds/minutes/frames and stopped watching it no more than <StoreResumeEndExclusion>seconds/minutes/frames from the end?

See, you made me go public with my wild guesses. I don't like that

Resume info will only be stored after playback has reached StoreResumeStartExclusion seconds into the video. Allowing you to configure a short period to be ignored if your prefer.

When it gets with StoreResumeEndExclusion seconds from the end of the video file, then that files resume info is deleted (ie, playback completed).
