In random mode, Previous Track button does not go to previous track

Are you able to reproduce this bug at will

Yes

What were you doing when you encountered the bug

I posted a report a while back, complaining that in random mode, the Next Track button would just go to a random track - not the one you were playing before hitting Previous and then Next.

I was told that this was working as designed - that CF uses a truly "random" mode instead of shuffling. I think that is an extremely bad design choice, but at least it made sense.

Now, after upgrading to the 2.0.806 final version, I see that the Previous Track feature has also been changed. It no longer goes back to the previous track; it just goes to a random track, like the Next button. There is no way this can be considered to be correct behavior. There NEEDS to be a way to go back to the previous track!


1.) Start playing a track.
2.) Go to the Next Track.
3.) Use the Previous Track hotkey.

Bug: Instead of going to the track played in step 1, a random track is played. There's no way to get back to the real previous track.



I'm not in my car right now so I don't have a system report. I can get one if needed, but I think this will happen for anyone who tries it - not specific to my installation.

Are the PC specs under your user name the same as the system you are reporting this bug for

Yes

If you answerd 'No' above, then please detail your system here

This is not the trial version of Centrafuse. It is the full Navigation version. But the forum software won't let me fix the title.

It is working without issue here, and I would suspect that this would be widely reported. Strange...

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

EDIT: So, how is the G4 running now?

[johnk]

Doh.... user error. Sorry.

The problem was that Girder needed a higher antirepeat setting for the Next Track command - as it was, it was jumping ahead 2 tracks for each press on my remote of the button mapped to Next Track. So when I did Previous Track, it would only go back 1 song.

But it's strange because that's the same exact setting (100ms antirepeat) that I used with Centrafuse prior to upgrading to the final version. And I had Previous Track set to 100ms which only jumps back 1 track. But I changed both to 200ms to be safe, and now it's working fine (though I still really wish CF should shuffle beforehand instead of randomizing each time you go to the next track).


As for the G4, I've only had it installed for about 4 days since getting it back (with all hardware replaced). I have not yet enabled the Phone in CF, and it has gotten into the bad state once where the radio buffer gets stuck at -30:00 and CF gets extremely sluggish. That was a few days ago and I wanted to wait until after I upgraded to 2.0 Final (which I did last night) to see how that works, before posting an update to that other message thread about that issue.
