Bug ID: 429647
Summary: Recall Stream Position Table
Product: kaffeine
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mchehab+hua...@kernel.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Kaffiene should have a table that stores the last played position of any given
stream, and returns to that position even if the user has played a number of
other streams since leaving the original stream.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start playing a stream.
2. Start playing any other stream while any place midstream in the original
stream.
3. Go back to the original stream.
OBSERVED RESULT
You will find that on the return to the original stream, it starts from the
beginning.
EXPECTED RESULT
The stream should instead continue where the user had left off.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a feature that I had recommended for the Android DoggCatcher podcast
player. It is a feature that they have had for years now.
Because they have good control over the existence and location of streams, they
can store the position information for every stream that is stored by the
player.
However, it is not ordinarily the case that Kaffeine will be able to track the
existence and location of all streams. So, I would recommend having a default
of about 128 of the most recent streams that will have their last play
positions tracked. Although, it would be nice to have that as a configurable
parameter (including the ability to specify that the positions of all streams
should be tracked). Of course, on startup, the existence of all of the streams
in the table could be verified to determine which entries can be eliminated.
Anyhow, the table needs to be stored in some form of non-volatile storage.
Because there could be potential for multiple instances of Kaffiene to be
running, a simple local database (such as SQlite) would seem to make the most
sense.
If the user desires to start from the beginning, that is always an easy option,
just click on the beginning of the progress bar. Although, starting where the
user left off should be the default if you wish to provide an option to have
all streams start from the beginning.
Thank you.
