HiJack Version: 1.51
Player Version: 2.0b7

Visual being used: "Scope" Tried others as well. I also tried to toggle off Favorite Visuals but that didn't help either.

Input Source: Mp3 (I don't have a tuner)

I'm playing the Entire root on shuffle. But same happens on a Single Playlist without Shuffle.

All of the below produce the same result. I selected these before power-off.
Info: Line
Info: Off
Info: Transient

At power on I see "End of Playlist" for a split second in the middle of the display with [--/--] in the bottom

Then it displays the info mode "Info: Now & Next"

Well, this (restore visuals) all works fine for me. I tried every scenario you listed, and they all worked. Including an "End of Playlist" test.

Speaking of which.. what's with the "End of Playlist" you are seeing. This is definitely an anomaly, unless your player really was at the end of a playlist before power off.

And what else is hiding in your [ir_translate] section of config.ini? Got any "initial=" or "initial.C" or "initial.H" lines in there?

This is a feature that works for everyone else, so we need to determine what you are doing that is different.

Thanks
