When loading playlist - tracks are getting tag "played"

Post by Steve FamilyRadio »

hello Bernd,

since a few days we are having issues with loading a playlist that contains voicetracks.
As soon as the list is loaded, all the tracks in that playlist are tagged "played" and only the first music track will play.
After that it will go to bottom to the playlist and add new tracks according to the script.

I have recorded a video for you to see what happens. I did not record the audio for copyright reasons.

Could it be there is a setting that needs to be adjusted in the logging/history section at settings?

Since nothing else has been changed on the ProppFrexx side and t only happens since a dew days, I assume a simple reason for that issue.
However, when tracks are marked as played at the beginning of a new program playlist, the only programatical reason for this is, that the related tracks could not be physically found. E.g. the tracks are not present anymore.
Can you check this?!
And have you maybe changed some configuration recently or even moved tracks physically?

I'm sure there must be a simple reason for it indeed.
The tracks have not been moved and ProppFrexx still plays the tracks when I select them all and toggle playstate.

Has anything been changed on the configuration, now that's a good question! :)
Problem is that i'm not the only one who has rights to change the config. I have asked around but everone says no ofcourse...

Seeing that the tracks get the status "played" when loaded, could it be something with the history settings?

No, as the history checking is disabled for RVT playlists.

Hello Bernd,

I think I may have found the problem.
After unchecking the "add history watch" the playlists are loading again as normal.

Could you tell me what the goal of "add history watch" is or how it should be used?
Thank you!

It is only needed/wanted in manual playlist pre-generation to enforce manual history checking.
For all automatic use of playlists and programs it shouldn’t be used.
