Mute when headphones become unplugged?

New postby bhg4576 on Sat May 01, 2010 3:54 pm

I was just wondering if there is anyway to automatically mute Podtrapper when my headphone jack comes out of blackberry. It gets annoying when my headphones accidentally get yanked from the jack and my podcast is played over my speakers. I'm a new blackberry user and can't find it in the settings of the phone. Thanks!

I can try, but the OS is pretty crappy about updating the state of the outputs. I'll definitely put a setting in to 'Pause on output change' and we can see how well it works...

Will that option be available now or on the next version of Podtrapper?

It should make the next beta version.

Yes! This would be great, for some reason Podtrapper would switch to Handset when switching outputs or if my headset came unplugged. As a result I have blown two speakers on my BB because I had the volume turn loud and it must have been too much for the speaker to take. I was going to suggest an option to disable some outputs from ever happening or something like being able to prioritize which output would be switched to in the event of an output becoming unavailable.

Well, it won't help that case 100%. The issue is there's no notification of when this happens, I have to poll for it (currently once per second). So theoretically it could still output to whatever output for up to a second...
