RadioDJ v2.0.0.8 Released!

[onair]

No, I copy and paste a lot of tracks in a temporary directory, because I import the folder. Then, I erase the copied files and I relocate tracks in the originary directory. Example: Files are in folder "Songs" or "Jingles", I copy and paste 10 of them in folder "New files". I import the folder, then I erase files in this directory and I relocate tracks in original folder. With this version, RadioDj doesn't find files. I hope I was clear.

Since 2.0.0.7 and now 2.0.0.8 I have 2 problems

Track rotation is wrong
When I start RadioDJ, the track rotation runs fine.
The next time a track rotation is loaded, it does not start at track #1, but further down the list.
When I restar RadioDJ, the track rotatotion starts at track #1 once.
I noticed the new option to show only a certain number of tracks in the current playlist might have something to do with this. When I set it to 40, it shows 40 tracks, even though my rotation is 33 tracks. When I set it to 10, it shows 10. I think I saw 33 in version 2.0.0.6, but I am not sure.

SQL tracks are not loaded
All sql tracks are skippe d in any rotation.
Manually running the sql inside the track shows up the correct track(s).

I ran the update sql successfully from 2.0.0.6 to 2.0.0.7.

This is exactly what this function should do, and it works correctly in your example! In older versions if you set 33 tracks you should have seen 66 tracks in your playlist.

Yes exactly. So now I think that the rotation in the old version worked because the next song after 66 tracks is #1.

In the new situation, suppose I have 40 tracks in the playlist and 33 tracks in my rotation. It loads 33 + 7. Then when I load the rotation later on (after loading another rotation), it starts at track #8.

I verified this by setting the number of tracks in the playlist to 33. This particular rotation then works perfect. Other however still have that problem.

So my suggestion would be that when you load a new rotation, it should always start at track #1.

I think you are using rotation in the wrong way. If you need that track #1 is always the same, build and use a playlist (with an event). I use rotation to load a new random playlist.

That does not work when you need 'load track from category' or sql statements

That was a fast release! I was going to upgrade to ...7 today. Guess I'm upgrading to ...8.

When I "load track from category" I load just one track either a random one or set.

@absoluutfm: the rotation will be generated from start (first rotation item) and cycle as many times as required to have the user specified items in the playlist. When needed to generate again, it will not start from the beginning, but it will resume from where it stoped.

In the previous releases the playlist was generated by complete cycles of the rotation.

Thnx. Would it be possible to implement that old feature again as an option? For example as an argument in events)

Also, what about the missing sql entries?

[onair]

With the new version, the export of titles stops after a while, at least this happens to me using MB Recaster. Everything is configured the right way and I even tried to reinstall the version.

[Kees]

the new version is installed and now radiodj only loads jingels and no rotations, what is going wrong now, does anyone know the solution ?

[Vanlen]

Installed 2.0.0.8 and running without issues for just under 24 hours on my test box upgraded from 2.0.0.6 with db update to 2.0.0.7 and then straight to 2.0.0.8 (current).  Rotations load and change and events all firing as they should.  MariaDB64bit on Win 10
Thanks Marius

[Dragos]

Works flawless for over 12 hours.
Good job, Marius!
