Feature: Cursor follows playback

Open mag01 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Describe Can You please add the "Cursor follows playback" feature that I know from foobar2000?

In short: When enabled, the cursor (e.g. highlighted playlist item) on the playlist moves to the currently played item everytime the playback starts/resumes/switches to another item.

This is also implemented, however, the cursor follows the decode position, rather than the current audible position.

Great. EDIT: Well, when I tried this feature after updating Cog (to 3184-g0979c55fd) it initially worked, however now it doesn't for some reason and I can't figure out why. Strange.

Can I have one more request related to the playback behavior? When playing some track, stopping the playback, quitting & relaunching the Cog and starting the playback (without selecting anything), it always starts from the beginning of the playlist.

Could it start playing the last played track (or at least the next one)?

There's the "Resume playback on startup" option which works, but it covers different use cases (Cog was closed while still playing or at least when the playback was paused). Also when this resume after restart happens, the cursor (track selection) isn't at the current (resumed) track (the cursor simply doesn't appear at all after the startup), so any following stop & play will start from the beginning of the playlist anyway.
