hi GeraldKo,

PAUSE still often doesn't work.

I've had this problem in betas 3, 5, and 6 (those are all I've tried). I've had it both before and after a clean install of everything (including flashing OS2008).

If this matters, my movies are coded as avi's.

It happens once the movie is far along (say, 1 hour). I can recreate the problem by fast-forwarding to late in the movie and then pausing.

Also, I think there should be a Stop button (which returns you to the beginning of the movie), especially now that you have that nice resume feature.
Hi geraldKo. We are actually tring to reproduce, but without a video that does that it hard. Can you please tell us how are the whole settings of your enconding? Then we can try to imitate.

About the stop button: The developers in the team always complain about that, but I stand firm in my decision no pause. this was useful when we needed to stop the K7 tape to do not damage it, or stop a cd from spinning. Now with simple bookmarks to file, there no need for stop. Developers often see the stop as a way to "release" resources, but I don think it will be needed

I will of course just make sure things works as expected, like if you pause and hit backward, it will work just like a stop (beginning of movie) in paused (ready to play) state.


MUNKY : please munky send your LOG messages for us! it the only way we can help you. There no alternative repository and we will not create because this will generate a lot of problems later with dependencies / people forgeting to remove the alternative etc.

Waiting for your log. (application manager menu -> tools -> LOG )

Best Regards,
