ListPosition rsjtdrjgfuzkfg

Remembers View-Position in playlists


Description

Inspired by getSatisfaction I wrote this small AddOn as workaround until the core guys implement remembering of the playlist position.
Because there are some technical problems when accessing the playlists, this AddOn could have problems with alternate MediaViews, the common ones should work (List/Filter/MediaFlow).

Features:
 Version 1.0
  Remembers Playlist-Position within one session
 Version 1.1
  Save Playlist-Positions for next session, too.

Known Bugs
 Only MediaViews with the playlist stored in <pageroot>._playlist are supported, but these are the most.

If the Add-On doesn't work at your machine, please post here!

Please post a comment and/or rate, don't be afraid posting bugs and ideas!

I don't know if I understood the purpose of this right.
But if it should remember my selected songs or the selected artists (in filter pane) when going from the library (or playlist) to somewhere (e.g. "downloads") and back,
... then it is not working.

I posted a big comment in the getsatisfaction topic, with a more detailed description and two more suggestions.
Thanks for your work!

Guys like you are THE KILLER REASON to use songbird.
No other player I know has such a support
(where even the dumbest problem is cared about, even the craziest idea is worth talking about and so many free-time-developers trying to improve it)

Great Add-on :-) Thanks for this.

Two feature requests:

1.) When Songbird is closed and restarted: Is it possible always to bring up the last played song on top the current view ?

Problem description / steps to reproduce:
- scroll through your library. You will always get dislplayed let's say the last 15 songs.
- play one of the songs in the middle of the current view (e. g. song number 8 from the current view).
- close and restart songbird.
- the previous 15 songs are displayed again, but you don't know where you stopped your playback last time (remember: it was song nr. 8 from the current view)

Feature request:
- after a restart of Songbird, always bring up the last played song on top the current view (i. e. display song nr. 8 now on top of the list ==> song number 8 is now song number 1 in the current view).
Then you know where you have to continue your playback :-)

2.) Can you please provide a button to jump to the current played song ?

Problem description / steps to reproduce:
- play a song from the library.
- scroll to somewhere else.
- if you want to go back to the currently played song, you have to search for it manually

Feature request:
- Provide a button for jumping (= automatic scrolling) back to the currently played song

@MrX:
1.) The "problem" is that ListPosition would not do what it should do if I implement this (the old position wouldn't get restured). BUT there is a solution for your problem anyway: There is a seperate AddOn "Last Track Resume" for this, which will continue playing the song that played when exiting Songbird.
2.) This feature is implemented in Songbird itself. Click at the name of the currently playing song in the media control pane (player controls), and the currently played song will get selected.
