Subsonic Forum

Hi,

I'm seeing that some of the SubSonic apps are making use of Bookmarks from the REST API. It's working wonderfully, but the default web UI has no way to interact with bookmarks. It'd be really nice if I could at least view, edit, or delete them. It'd be even better if I could resume long files from the bookmark point, like the apps do now.

I use DSub and PolySonic right now, if that helps.

Actually, bookmarks are supported in the web UI. From the dropdown in the play queue, select "Save/load play queue".

I'll consider renaming it to make it more understandable.

Thanks
Sindre

Bookmarks != Play Queue saving/loading. The bookmarks are for individual files. You added an API for me a while back but don't use it anywhere in the web GUI. I didn't know about those Play/Save Queue methods before though. Thanks for pointing them out!

I've had the play queue feature available in SubFire pretty much since it was released.

That said, I've not really found a decent use-case for bookmarks, because without the context (which could be put into the comment, but would need to be reconstructed when returning to it), there's not much use to bringing back just the one file in my app. This is especially true since that as an HTML5 app, i'm limited in not having seek on several platforms (Chrome for Android, FireOS including FireTV; Firefox will only accept currentTime if the file is fully loaded), so trying to resume in the middle of the bookmarked file isn't worths supporting.

I use bookmarks to keep my place in an album sometimes. But the more common use case is DSub auto saves bookmarks when stopped in the middle of podcasts and audio books

Thanks for all the followup, everybody! Sindre, I didn't know about the "load play queue" option, and that is working for me as a way to resume where I left off. What'd be nice is if you could add a page in the UI to manage the play queue/bookmarks. DSub and PolySonic both have pages for this if you need examples of what I'm thinking of.

Thanks again!
