2 | \section{\label{ref:Autoresumeconfigactual}Automatic resume} | ||
3 | |||
4 | The automatic resume feature stores and recalls resume positions for | ||
5 | all tracks without user intervention. These resume points are stored | ||
6 | in the database, and thus automatic resume only works when the | ||
7 | database has been initialized. | ||
8 | |||
9 | When automatic resume is enabled, manually selected tracks resume | ||
10 | playback at their last playback position. It does not matter in which | ||
11 | way you start the track; tracks are resumed whether they are navigated | ||
12 | to through the database browser or file browser, from a playlist or | ||
13 | bookmark, or by skipping through tracks in a playlist. | ||
14 | |||
15 | Optionally, you can also enable automatic resume for automatic track | ||
16 | transitions. In this case, the next track will be resumed as well | ||
17 | instead of starting playback at its beginning. This is most useful | ||
18 | for podcasts, and can be enabled on a per-directory basis. | ||
19 | |||
20 | A track's resume position is updated whenever playback of that track | ||
21 | stops, including when explicitly stopping the track, powering off the | ||
22 | \dap{}, or starting playback of another track. | ||
23 | |||
24 | If you intend to start a track from its beginning but notice that it | ||
25 | was resumed, you can press the \ButtonLeft{} button to skip back to | ||
26 | its beginning. When pressing \ButtonLeft{} again in the first few | ||
27 | seconds of a track to go to the previous track, the previously (on | ||
28 | first button press) saved resume position is retained. Therefore, you | ||
29 | can also use the \ButtonLeft{} and \ButtonRight{} buttons to skip | ||
30 | across tracks in a playlist without losing their resume position. | ||
31 | |||
32 | \begin{description} | ||
33 | \item[Automatic resume.] This option enables or disables automatic | ||
34 | resume globally. When Rockbox detects that the database (which is | ||
35 | needed for this feature) has not been initialized yet, it asks | ||
36 | whether it should be initialized right away. | ||
37 | |||
38 | \item[Resume on automatic track change.] Controls whether the next | ||
39 | track in an automatic track transition should be resumed at its last | ||
40 | playback position as well. | ||
41 | \begin{description} | ||
42 | \item[No.] Automatic resume works only for manual track selection. | ||
43 | \item[Yes.] Always attempt to resume -- for both manual and | ||
44 | automatic track changes. | ||
45 | \item[In custom directories only.] Configure directories in which to | ||
46 | enable resume on automatic track change. Selecting this option | ||
47 | starts the text editor, in which you can enter the (absolute, | ||
48 | case-insensitive) directory names separated by colons (``:''). | ||
49 | |||
50 | A typical value is ``/podcast'', which matches all files in | ||
51 | directories \fname{/PODCAST}, \fname{/Podcast} or \fname{/podcast} | ||
52 | and their subdirectories, but not in directories \fname{/podcasts} | ||
53 | (mind the trailing ``s'') or \fname{/audio/podcast}. | ||
