Dear VirtualDJ Team,
I use VDJ in autoplay mode in single deck mode for regular rock parties. Since crossfades make no sense with this music, I have scripted all songs (stored locally on the hard disk) for skips. I always fill the autoplay list with a 30 to 45 minute lead time so that I can respond to the mood.
Now it happens from time to time (at the last event it happened seven times in eight hours) that songs are skipped in the autoplay list. I haven't been able to detect any regularity at all so far; it doesn't seem to be due to the song/file. Because if I start the song manually via "Mix now", everything works. And even if I move the song down in the autoplay list, it plays normally later.
At the moment I do it in such a way that after each song change on the deck I check by mouseover which is the next loaded song. If I notice that the desired song would be skipped, I start it manually.
But of course it would be good if I could rely on the autoplay function.
What could be the problem?
Best regards,
Frank

Each song has a cue point as a loading point where it should start, and usually the following script at the end:
pause & mix_and_load_next
For some songs, I control a fadeout as follows:
repeat_start levelSweep 20ms 101 & level -1% & level 0 ? repeat_stop levelSweep & pause & mix_and_load_next & repeat_start WaitTimer 100ms 1 & level 100% :
However, I could not find any connection with my problem, this is independent of the start or end of the respective song. And I can see early on that something is wrong.
Let's assume I have song #1 to song #4 in the autoplay list.
Song #1 is currently playing, song #2 is already loaded in the deck. After the end of song #1, song #2 is played, but I can already see in the preview that song #4 (instead of #3) has been loaded.
