Hi Uwe,

i've got an idea how to deal with the problem of the same song being played two times in quick succession. But i guess it could be a bit complicated:

How about adding the option of not playing songs of the same artist for "x" songs?
That would solve the problem and would be a nice feature at the same time 8)

Do you have any idea how to implement this in your script?

Cheers,
Olli

Hi Olli,

How about adding the option of not playing songs of the same artist for "x" songs?
You can configure the input playlist (more or less) in that way.
For auto playlists you can set a criteria like "last played" > 5 hours.
That way a song won't be used by Radio-DJ.

But I doubt that it would resolve the problem.
Since this behavior seems to be related to the number of songs that is generated in advance.
As long as the song has not been played it has a high possibility to get selected again by Radio-DJ.
Even the criteria "last played" or you suggestion "don't play the same artist again" would not change this,
since both only work when the song already *has been* played.

I'm thinking about how to fix this, but I haven't had any usable idea yet...

There are just a few workarounds to make this problem smaller:
- Set Favor factor not higher than 1
- in Option / Player / Auto-DJ set "Automatically maintain at least x upcoming tracks in now playing" to only 1 or 2 (or none)
Using those two settings reduce the probability of playing the same song in a short time.

Hi Uwe,

is there a possibility for the script to "remember" the queued songs?

OK, you will loose the flexibility of deleting songs from the queue, which will be played later anyway. A Song deleted from the queue will not be played for a long time, even if it wasn't really played. But the problem will be solved.

Anyway, your script is great! I love it!

No, I don't think so.

An easy to implement solution would have a very bad performance,
and a solution with a god performance would require to rewrite major parts of the script.
This is because a very early design decision was to rely on playlists for the input.
I still think that's the best way. There are more advantages than disadvantages using playlists.

Weird, this script just crashes my MM ... using 3.1.2.1281

Just tried uninstall (delete .vbs + .ini) and reinstall ... now says:

"Radio-DJ:
Error occured in GenerateNewTrack.
Playlist 'RadioDJ_Input' is empty or doesn't exist."

Well it means exactly what it says:

The input playlist you have configured in the options pane of Radio-DJ is empty or doesn't exist.
And it also tells you the name of that playlist. It's 'RadioDJ_Input'.

So please have a look if you either have a typo in the name or maybe it's empty.

As soon as the playlist exists and has songs in it, Radio-DJ will work.

Thanks .. ok I set in on 'accessible tracks' and now if I click on the node or try to use it as auto-DJ option the processor maxes out for ages ... seems to eventually work. - is this normal? should I limit it to a smaller playlist or something ?

Hi,

does your MM freeze for a few seconds?
Then your playlist is obviously very large. I also had this problem.
Now i have a Auto-Playlist, which contains only rated songs. That fixed the problem.

Olli
