1083904 - Fast Forward button at the end of an album, artist or playlist list should not go to Song list (issue not yet fixed)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Music, defect)

Description

[Inder]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1043712 +++
We are still seeing this issue so filing another bug for it.
See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1043712#c33

---------
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Music
2. Go to album and play last song in the list
3. Tap Fast Forward/Next button

Expected Result:
The seek-bar should go to the end of the bar and the user should remain on the song page. 

Actual Result:
Song stops playing and the user is brought to the Songs list.

Currently, the user might be confused as to why the Fast Forward button brought them to a new tab and screen. The Fast Forward button should indicate to the user that they have finished the list by remaining at the end of the seek bar but should not move their position if its at the end of an album/artist or playlist.

This works fine for me. Tapping the next button when you're at the last song of a playlist correctly returns you to the previous screen, e.g. if you came from the mix page originally, you'll return there once the playlist ends.

If you're saying that the next button should do nothing when you're at the last song of a playlist, then I *strongly* disagree. By tapping on the next button, you're effectively falling off the end of the playlist, meaning there's nothing left to play. Since the playback screen is only available when there *is* something to play, it stands to reason that the playback screen can't be shown in that case. This is a rather important feature in my opinion, since at the moment, the only ways to actually *stop* (not pause) playback is to either kill the music app or fall off the end of a playlist.

That said, I wouldn't mind seeing us add a notification like "Playlist ended." when you fall off the end, nor would I mind seeing a larger redesign of the music app address this, but neither of those could block 2.1 since - among other things - they'd need new l10n strings.

HI Jim ,
Here we are expecting that suppose you did forward on last song, then it should go back to first song instead of song menu.

This is how happens in LA. Is FFOS implementation is different?

Please provide your confirmation on this.

If you turn on repeat, that's what will happen. If you don't turn on repeat, then the playlist simply stops when you reach the end.

Marking as WONT FIX since the behavior is as designed for FFOS Music. 

Thanks
