RadioDJ v1.6.5.6 Released!

[radiodj@havank.nl]

  and the doubleplay issue again. Like always:

• The top of the hour schedule gets active
• The news is started, which is an VDF

In my event:

• Mute input
• Auto DJ disable
• Clear Playlist
• Load track jingle 1 on top (normal mp3  about 20 secs which contains the prenouncer for the news and the time)
• Load track news.mp3 on bottom (VDF!)
• Load track jingle 2 on bottom (normal mp3 about 30 secs which tells what program will be next)
• Auto DJ enable
• Play

Jingle 1 starts, immediatly followed by the news (but RDJ is not displaying this). After jingle 1 ends, jingle 2 starts immediatly. News keeps running for some time


Will roll back to the previous version 1.6.5.0 which did the same but less often..


regards,


marcel

Sorry to hear this double play scenario radiodj@havank.nl.  You must have a valid reason to disable AutoDJ and re-enable it and clear playlists but

I have an event load at the top of the list 30 seconds  to the hour and works within a minute or so and in the event I have just LOAD TO TOP for ALL using only your items 4 - 5 - 6 which are exactly as your scenario but as it's load top it's 6 5 4 of course. I've never needed to clear the playlist, stop the auto DJ and start and then play etc to have it flow as I intended and it has never done what you are describing since many versions ago.   Have you tried just loading your event without the need for the other on/off items and see if that might make a difference or I'm probably missing something as I usually do.  LOL


Cheers

are using the event to pick the song instead of the autodj ?

What settings are you using for the SQL database have you got it set as "developer machine" Or "server machine"?

Only other thing I could suggest really is try the SQL setup as described in this thread http://www.radiodj.ro/community/index.php?topic=2122.0 from back in the 1.6.0 days

See if that fixes the issues you are having with the repeating artists.

Hi mate. The settings are exactly the same.
Thank you

No 704djs I leave Auto DJ enabled grabbing from the laid out rotations and loading the various rotations through out the day.  Don't use Playlists but will in a few months.  Just AutoDJ and events all the way through.   Oh, Running 1.6.5.6 in the root of C: along with MySQL 64 bit on the same box.  In keeping with the topic current

Spoke too soon...It's just done it!  I give up 

Stopped the one that was playing on top of the other song, The other song just carried on, then the watchdog did it's job by starting playing normally again after.

I'll wait for a fix on this I guess.

This just happened to me too...

Greetings Marius,

I am still having problems with events after midnight.

Windows XP Pro SP3, 3.5GB RAM
RadioDJ in List Mode with Notes, some encoder, and Saytime plugins active.

I have one event that triggers 5 seconds before midnight (23:59:55) and does the following:
Stop
Clear Playlist
Load New Rotation
Start some encoder Encoders
Load Track 1 (Signature tune)
Load Track 2 (list of stations relaying Shoutcast Server)
Play

It does all that correctly and proceeds past midnight as time marches on.
After midnight, the first event is at 15 minutes past and every 15 minutes thereafter.... Approx 20% of the time, none of the events after midnight run

If I open the events, it all resets and all events process normally.

Maybe it needs a rescan of events immediately after midnight ?
I have noted that RadioDJ cannot see past midnight on the events list if this information is of any use.

Regards,
Chris

Have you tried setting your Max connections in the SQL my.ini file to 200-300?

Try this old post for instructions on how to do it http://www.radiodj.ro/community/index.php?topic=2122.0

That helped with events stalling in 1.6.0 so it may still be useful to try.

[TQ]

I have the exact same problem, I think it appeared in or after beta 4. I thought somehow it was my fault till now as I've struggled to get my events to run with fluidity.

The button top that normally shows the next event just displays --:-- after midnight, clicking it then closing the event list is enough to put everything back to normal.

I've just come across some weirdness in the Events in the latest final 1.6.56.  Opening events in the hour view coming up two items are indicated in 24 hour mode in the internet news streams and they are at the same times which they are not.  Also one of the promo times aren't showing the correct time.  When I'm not looking at the hour specific view everything shows correctly.   It's like the repeat by day and hour (Hour will be ignored part) isn't ignoring?

Here is a snap to show what I mean.

Hi KingsbridgeRadio,

I increased it from 150 to 200 connections with no effect.
What I will be doing is uninstalling MySQL and putting in a fresh copy which I've downloaded ready to do so.

We will see how it goes after that.

Thanks KingsbridgeRadio and also Marius who must put in a heck of a lot of time into this project.

Regards,
Chris
