Summary | 0009631: Play doesn't work as expected once playback is complete | ||||
Description | If the user plays the Now Playing list to completion: 1) The Play/Pause indicator doesn't change to 'Play'. The effect is that when the user clicks the middle icon to restart playback, nothing happens--they have to click it a second time to start playback. 2) Playback doesn't restart from the beginning of the Now Playing list as with most other players. This can be implemented as follows: - If 'Now Playing > Album Art' view is displayed, then upon completion switch back to Now Playing > Tracklist view with no focus on any individual track - If any other view is in display and the Player menu is displayed at the bottom, then the metadata in the player should be greyed out (??). | ||||

2) I suppose that we could jump to the first track of NP list after playback completion as well. |
|
3) Another issue is that after playback is finished, playback indicator remains next to the last played track. |
|
4) In build 23, MM closes after clicking 'next' if no other tracks are in the NP list. Need to verify in build 24. |
|
Tested build 24: 1) Partially fixed. It works correctly the first time the NP list is played. But if the user presses play again, then the old behavior remains. 2/3) not fixed i.e. the indicator remains on the last track, and playback re-initiates from the last track. 4) fixed |
|
Tested build 28: 1) Not fixed. As with build 24, in many cases after initially playing the final track in a NP list if the user plays it again then: - if in NP>Art view, the view fails to switch to NP>List view, and the pause button displays - if in a view that shows the MiniPlayer, the pause button displays on completion 2) The current implementation (which is different than described above) of looping to the first track if the user clicks 'next' seems reasonable (the spec originally called for this to occur upon clicking Play). 3) the playback indicator still doesn't show which track playback is paused at (however this is a general problem that occurs even if the user Pause on a particular track) 4) fixed 5) When MM is in the state described in 1), after playing the final track in the NP list in NP>List view, then clicking the Artwork in the miniplayer causes the last viewed Track Browser menu to open (instead of switching to NP>Art view)! |
|
Fixed in build 31. |
|
Tested build 32. 1 a) Upon completing playing a list while in the NP > Art view, MM switches to the list browser instead of toggling to the NP > List view (The issue of the pause button displaying is fixed). 1 b) fixed 2) OK 3) Fixed 5) Fixed |
|
1) a) Rusty, I think that the current implementation makes more sense - after playback user returns to the previous view, just like pressing Back button. In many cases getting to NP List would be a surprise for the user, e.g. Album>Play>NP>End of playback>NP List - here user gets to a view that he hasn't previously been at all! |
|
1a) The problem is that 'back' will often return the user to a view that's not useful (e.g. to the main menu). But this is a whole other discussion (automatic view/context switching in MMA which could use further improvement), so lets tag this as resolved for now, and I'll open a new issue to discuss. |
