Resume Video with Play Button

[jabohn]

New in 1.3, the play button won't let you resume playback of a video:

1. Click on a video that has been partially played (with either the play button or the main button)
2. Window pops up offering Resume or Start from beginning.
3. Play button doesn't work with either option, only the main button does

Side note: if you press the main button you get a sound effect but if you press the play button you get no sound effect.

I cant see that anything changed in that regard from 1.2.0 -> 1.3.0

play will start the playback, but if there is resume you always had to click select on the desired option

Hmmm I don't remember it that way. I remember the ability to use the Play button was introduced in 1.1 but using it to resume a video caused a freeze that was fixed in 1.2 so I'm sure that the Play button used to be able to select Resume or Start at beginning. Whatever, if that's intended then I'd put my vote in for allowing the Play button to select one of those options. You'd have your finger on the Play button already so it makes sense to be able to use it to resume.

The previous issue was once the resume dialog was up, there was no control any more. The was because the code sent a sync msg in the wrong thread and deadlocked. The fix was to send the msg aysnc to get it into the right thread. Then one could up/down/select the item in the result dialog.

It's not possible to re-task the play button as the code handler has no knowledge of what window/dialog/etc is showing. So it cannot change from doing a 'play' function to a 'select' function.

Thanks Davilla. Understood.
