As title. I'm using v.2.0.4.3 on Windows 11 with MariaDB 10.11.4
Already settup the track rotation with WITHOUT sweeper, selection type is RANDOM, then enable AutoDJ.
All work fine untill 20 hours or 4 hours (it's unpredictable) And track stuck like screen shot below.


I can not play. Nothing works.
Only way is to restart the program then all back to normal.

I checked the Logs. Only the import logs in it.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi, a friend of mine has the same configuration as you, only Mariadb version is different, he uses 10.5 and it works like a charm.
Here is the address for version 10.5:

I hope it helps you.

Hi, have you tried to optimise the database?

Just out of curiosity the screen grab you show only appears to have a TOTAL of 24 files in the database for testing rotations over a long period of time. :huh:  That could be an issue.  Try at least 300 files for RadioDJ Database to function properly with rules and such. In my experience with RadioDJ over these many years that having at least 300 files in each cat you create makes a world of difference.  Your mileage may vary.

Cheers

Hi, Vanlen, DaveTheRave and all friends. I will add more tracks to the category later.
But there is something interesting. On the same PC(Windows 11Pro, RadioDJ v2.0.4.3, MariaDB 10.11.4), I put only ONE song in the category for track rotation.
No doubt, the RadioDJ play the ONLY ONE song. And it's fine. (Screenshot like below)


But the main automation PC(Windows 10, RadioDJ v2.0.4.3 , MariaDB 10.11.4) is still not stable. I use the Pira.CZ silence detector. Once no sound, detector will sent the notification email first then kill RadioDJ and restart it again. (Screensho like below)

Like all Windows versions, Windows 11 has a lot of programs running in the background. It is possible that one of these standby programs interferes with the proper functioning of RadioDJ.   
I am thinking of the screensaver or retrieving information about weather reports, temperature, time.... etc

Good point mebo

Yes check in Deveice manager that windows isn't shutting your hard drives down after xx:xx hours

Thanks Mebo and DaveTheRave.
I checked the device manager. My Roland UA-101 is not disabled when the screen was freezed.

If the sound device were changed. The level meter will be full-filled but the time at queue list will still go on.

PSU problem solved
It's about the Windows issue or my PC PSU.

I checked the Windows event, there are many fetal errors Event 41- Kernel Power - (61).
These events are related with the silence notification.

Updated Problem not solved

Since I changed to another power outlet, the frequency reduced. But still happening. Just freezing at playing then the silenced detector will kill and restart the RadioDJ.
Sooo weird. Any ideas? Tks

I have an issue similar to this when my audio drivers crash or are otherwise reset during playback. Generally restarting RadioDJ works, though if you're using Voicemeeter as a mixer (like I am), you'll probably need to restart some/all audio engines first.

That also said, I don't know how much RadioDJ has been tested with Windows 11, or if Windows 11 made any changes to the audio drivers and how they're handled. Your use of Windows 11 could also be a complication here.
