The option was removed it’s mentioned in the changelogs.

[Symtse]

Found the changelog:

Multiple media queues is now always enabled, the option is removed and end of current queue unload it. (You can remove the queues shortcut in home settings, and can still reload last queue easily).

But how can I still reload last queue easily?

[Tolriq]

The last one is always auto restored.

What is your need ? The removal of the option does not change anything.

@Tolriq

What is your need ?

Not sure yet, I’m trying to figure out how to use multiple queues, how to get to them, why there’s a pile of empty ones, etc. And eventually maybe disable them if I find no use for them.

[Tolriq]

You can’t disable them so well

Multiple media queues

Symfonium (version 4.2 and above) now supports multiple media queues. This means that you can switch between queues, each containing a list of media and current position, as well as configurations like repeat mode, shuffle status, playback speed, and more. This feature makes it easy to switch between a long music playlist and an audiobook without losing your current position or requiring you to change any settings. Simply switch between the queues and resume playback where you left off. Each t…

there is no way to disable media queue?

every time i connect to my car’s bluetooth, nothing plays unless i choose from the queue or delete it all the queue and select a playlist.
and this is the same reason i cant even auto play any song moment it connects to car bluetooth.

is there a workaround?

thanks

Your issue is unrelated …

Open an issue with logs and details.

I too would like to disable multiple media queues, it isn’t of any value to me and is an unnecessary complexity. Additionally when I click to play a recent album in my car, it starts playing from the middle of the album (Where I last was when listening to that album).

For me, the only queue there should be is the last/current one so I can pick up where I left off. But if I want to listen to a different album, I want to start from the beginning.

A simple “Disable Multiple Media Queues” option would simplify things for me greatly.

[Tolriq]

You are mixing things here.

The multiple queues does not add any complexity and is unrelated to your other remarks just hide the queue button and it’s the exact same behavior.

@chewy5639

Additionally when I click to play a recent album in my car, it starts playing from the middle of the album

If you play from the recently played part then it resume the album as expected, this is unrelated to multiple queues. But a fix was made in 11.2.0 where wrong resume point where saved.

You can also disable the usage of resume points in the settings if you never want to use them, but again unrelated to the queues.

[chewy5639]

Thanks for your reply!

I am on 11.2.0 and I can’t find any setting regarding “Resume Points”. (That’s probably why I thought it had to do with multiple media queues)

Where should I see this setting to disable multiple resume points?

[chewy5639]

Never mind, I found it.

I had to just google where to find the setting

I really appreciate all of the hard work into this great app!

[Symtse]

Tell the rest of us where the setting is, don’t keep it secret

[Tolriq]

You do know that’s there’s a doc section with a nice search that find that in 2 seconds ?

[chewy5639]

Sorry! As soon as I posted my “I found the answer” response, the thought occurred to me “I wonder if anyone else is looking for this”

The setting has a bit of an odd name, but can be found here:
Settings → Playback settings → Playback → Min. play time before saving resume point (in seconds)

And set to ‘Never set resume point’. I haven’t verified that this works yet for me on android auto, but it seems promising.

@Tolriq, I appreciate your help guiding us on the right track. But as someone who is in software development I can assure you most users do NOT read documentation, lol. And the users you find here on the forums represent a very small percentage of end users. Most users will either:

• Continue to live with annoying behaviours
• Stop using application altogether

This isn’t a knock on the app or the level of support you have offered, both have been great! It’s just the nature of the beast. Seeing as there are multiple forum users (again a small percentage of end users) that seemed to be confused with which option they need to change in order to fix a strange behaviour, might be a sign of a less than intuitive design.

That’s just my 2 cents. Again, I appreciate your help today!

The last message was for Symtse

And I publish on Play Store since 13 years with the other main application having crossed 7 millions downloads, I start to know how people works

Symfonium is more advanced than most applications, and support a lot more use cases, so yes some defaults are for the vast majority of users and can’t work for 100% of them. But everything is carefully thought from all the feedback from all those years and users.
