wow, great this is already implemented in that way, i was already puzzled by the changelog mentioning resume, but thought it might have meant "resume from pause" or something similar.
the popup indeed sounds extra luxurious, but this is already wonderful!

i have my xbmc in my car...and it would be great if when it started up, if i could have the option of playing a song where it left off, or at least start in the album directory where i was last.
wouldn't have to be the same position in the song (because i guess it would have to constantly save the location of the song in the event the xbox turns off) but perhaps just the song itself.
anyways this is my first post on this forum so hello guys!

powerdvd (for windows pc) have auto-resume implemented in a nice way; if press 'pause' before 'stop' then (and only then) the position is saved, like a hidded bookmark, ...when later play the same video-file (or insert the same cd/dvd which kicks of auto-start) then it gives you the option to resume (by asking with a simple yes" or "no" dialog). however if a movie is stopped by just the 'stop' button then no bookmark is saved. powerdvd does this for dvd's by checking and remembering the discid.

that is pretty much the perfect system, i would have to question whether users would know if it was there or not though since most of the time when i stop watching a movie i am in a hurry and just press b to close it then open the shutdown menu and click shutdown. i still think it is best to just let it do it on stop. would be interesting to see what other ideas people have to completely automate the system. i believe if you are withing a certain distance of the end of a file it does not resume, if not, i would think it should work something like if you are within 5 minutes of the end of a movie you wouldn't want to resume...perhaps something like that could be a user configurable setting, "do not resume if within xx minutes of the end of a video" or something to that effect.

the 'resume play' thread is linked to the 'resume play when xbmc starts'
thats where the confusion has come from.

hi,
it would be great if the xbmc could automatically start playing the "last played song before shutdown" (and continue from there on in the corresponding folder/playlist) when starting up. :o

is it possible to resume music or audio after a reboot?
i ask because this is my current situation. i have installed an xbox in my car with all of my music on the hard drive. i get in the car, browse through my whole music library (278 albums) and find one i want to listen to. i stop for gas, turn off the car... get back in turn the car back on and i have to go through the whole boot/browse/play routine and it's getting to be a bit of a hassle. especially if i want to play something that is near the end of the list.
is it possible for xbmc to "remember" where it was at as it was playing a particular file and resume where it started directly after a reboot? i've googled/read through the faq/searched this forum and there isn't really any reference to it.
thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
