Media starts playing when I move to the next rack

Thanks @David-san and @djogon. I do have a “play/pause” button, and a “play from beginning” button. But what I am experiencing is that (during practice) if I am using Rackspace 1 and pause the player, then select Rackspace 2, then go back to Rackspace 1…the Rackspace 1 player starts playing automatically from the point at which I paused. If I let the player finish playing the audio file everything stops normally, as expected.

I’ll try the playhead position widget idea. That may be the solution I need. I’ll let you know how that goes.

UPDATE: Solved, thanks all. Using “Value” tab for a widget was the key, I missed that one. I went ahead and added a playhead position widget with the reset to 0, as its useful to have during practice.

If scripting and having the audio player in the global rackspace is an option for you, then maybe this could help you:

where i use a script to get a “real” stop button.
I don’t know why this hasn’t yet been implemented natively.

Ah, thank you @schamass. Very interesting option, I’ll dig deeper into this shortly…

An old post…but a very good one!! I had this exact same problem…couldn’t work out why a track or two would just randomly start playing!! Certainly is the case if you save it whilst it is in the midst of playing it remembers the state. Thank you!
