Automatic playlist cycling #4

Open JohnRCrichton opened 4 years ago

JohnRCrichton commented 4 years ago

It would be nice to have the favorites list or a separate playlist list to be able to set it to automatically cycle through them instead of just leaving it on one of them. I'm not sure if that's able to be done or not.

This has been mentioned a few times, but I should add it to the faq.

Basically this ends up not working very well because we don't have information about track length, so any playlist would arbitrarily either repeat your songs partially, or switch to the next song in the middle of the current one etc.

I'll play with this a bit more at some point, because it would be nice, but I'm not sure there is a good solution for it.

Maybe you can let the user decides the interval of switching soundtrack? Like 1h, 30m or 10m. The game itself already has a pretty good fade-in/out effect.

I know the older music files had the loop times in the information sections in the ogg files. But since everything is from a community driven document and not from the files themselves probably not doable unless someone exports them into the document. If I wasn't bogged down with school work I could probably list them. I have all of the music files extracted.
