I love GMMP. Works great, nice Holo UI. However, for the last few weeks there's been a pretty annoying behavior going on.
I had a particular playlist of 56 tracks ("Playlist A") saved, and had that playlist as my queue for a while, occasionally switching to another playlist and then back to Playlist A. A couple weeks ago, I added another 17 tracks to the queue, and resaved the updated queue using the same name, "Playlist A". Since then, effectively every time GMMP gets reactivated while not actively playing music, the queue reverts to the old 56-entry listing for Playlist A. I've tried re-saving the playlist as "Playlist B" and loading that, swapping between various playlists, force-stopping the app and clearing data, and so on.
I'm using a Nexus 5, Android 4.4, stock ROM, Franco kernel, Xposed framework with GravityBox, and GMMP 1.6.3 unlocked.
If you can figure out what's going on, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

Thanks! acemarke in order for songs to stay in the queue through restarts they must be added to the database.. otherwise they will not be persisted. This happens whenever the music service is restarted.. so firstly if you have the music service timeout enabled you need to turn that off, there is no reason to ever have the music service ever time out (it was put in for users with slow phones who couldnt understand that android manages memory for them and will shut down services when the resources are needed). Im not sure what method you used to add the songs to the queue but to be sure the songs are in the database you should add them to your queue from one of the library views. Android's file system is a bit confusing since the same file can be located in more than one path.. so if.. lets say you add a song from /sdcard/Music/song.mp3 but its scanned in by the database (based off the scan paths set in the settings) as /storage/Music/song.mp3, the queue will not be able to be saved The queue has no concept of albums / playlist / etc.. the queue consists of links to the songs stored in the GMMP media library |

Ah, yes, that would probably explain it. I added the new files to the queue from the Folder tab after uploading them to my phone, and haven't run the scanner lately. Thanks for the quick response, and the fantastic app!

Thanks for the quick response, and the fantastic app! no prob GMMP 2.0 should be better about picking up new files without requiring a scan to be ran (at least for all the formats that android supports natively) |
