Hi,

> what the slider in User Interface > Rewind Track does ?

It sets threshold for the track progress after which Neutron will rewind track to its beginning if Prev if pressed, if below this threshold then Neutron will switch to previous track.

Thanks a lot ! That was hard to guess !

It tested it : if set to 0 then every Prev will switch to previous track. If set to 1 nearly every Prev will rewind. The behaviour when set to 0 is strange : then the track surely isn't below the threshold and it should never switch to the previous track.

I created a proposal to slightly alter this setting :

Anyhow, I suggest to change it as follows, because it then seems more consitent :
  • A switch to the previous track should occur when the track's advance is equal to or smaller than the threshold set in "Rewind Track, %", and in the other case that the track's advance is bigger than the threshold then it should rewind to the beginning. So that in the case of the threshold set to 0 and the track even minimally advanced then a rewind should be done.
  • I further suggest to change the upper limit of the sider from 90 to 100. When set to 100 it would always switch to the previous track.

How to play a running song from the beginning? (easily)

Is there a way to set the player to ALWAYS play the current song from the beginning when I skip back? If the current song has been playing for a under a minute and I skip back, NMP plays the previous track. This is annoying because you have to skip back once and then forward again.

Thanks for moving May question to this thread.
But "Rewind Track" does not really work in a user-friendly way. Depending on the value and the length of the song, you can skip earlier or later. With value 1 and a song length of 8 minutes, I can skip to the beginning of the current song after about 5 seconds, with a song length of 4 minutes after 2-3 seconds. Ok, that's logical, you set a percentage value.
But if I set it to 0, it doesn't work at all. But I would prefer to be able to skip to the beginning of a song after 1 second. With "Supper's Ready" by Genesis, which lasts 24 minutes, I would then have to wait 15 seconds... :roll:
Maybe this can be adjusted with an update?

Yes, I can confirm that. "0" should mean always return to the beginning of the current song. Feel free to tell the developer.

OK. 0 on my item means always to go to the beginning of the previous song :-)

modify "User Interface > Rewind Track"

So just in case this is a feature and not a bug let's propose to change this.

The specification for "User Interface > Rewind Track" says: It sets threshold for the track progress after which Neutron will rewind track to its beginning if Prev if pressed, if below this threshold then Neutron will switch to previous track.

So one would expect that if set to 0 every rewind would position at the beginning of the currently playing track.

Instead it switches to the previous track.

Proposal: increase the upper limit of "User Interface > Rewind Track" to 100 ( currently 90 ) and interpret it as % track length, 0 should result in rewinding to beginning, 100 should result in switch to previous track, between 0 and 100 see specification above.

But where can I set it to 100? Just 90 is possible.
And when it's set to 100 then it skips to the previous track.
I think I don't really understand what you mean :-)
Or do I have to change another value then the one for "rewind track"?
