Hello.

I'm running Centova 3.2.12, and I'm having a problem with two scheduled playlists.

What happens is that autoDJ (liquidsoap 1.3.7) is inserting random tracks in the middle of the playlist, between the parts of the show.

The first playlist is scheduled to start at 06:30 A.M and has a 90 minute show split into 6 parts, and is ending late because of these random tracks autoDJ has inserted. The second playlist is scheduled to start at 08:00 A.M and has a show with approximately 110 minutes, split into 6 parts, with small 1 minute news tracks between.

AutoDJ inserts totally random tracks between the parts of the two shows, and I don't know what to do to resolve this, not even my support team knows, but honestly, they seem to know less than I do about Centova after all, That's why I came here to ask for help from you guys.

P.S.: Playlists are programmed not to be interrupted and to play until the end.

when this problem occurs,, the LOG says something like:

2020/06/10 07:27:06 [source:4] Source add_75244 gets up.

This Elton John track shouldn't be there, and the log says it came from a Fallback playlist. What happens is that I don't know what this "Falback Playlist" is, nor why the auto DJ is doing it since this is a scheduled playlist ...

Any help will be appreciated!

I know that is not the answer that you expect, but check your playlists!
Set the scheduled playlist to "play in order" mode an no other title outside this playlist should be played.

Thanks for trying to help, but I already checked everything in advance, before opening this topic. everything is as it should be according to the manual, however random tracks are still inserted here and there.

I'm having a similar issue and posted in here as well. I'm not having the most confidence that this forum is being checked by the Centova team/staff though :-(

here's mine:

I found the solution ... Or almost ...

This is a buffer problem. Liquid soap is not able to prepare the track in time for whatever reason, and ends up using a random file among those listed in /media/playlist.txt.

Since this is an automatically generated file, I cannot stop this behavior for now ...

Thanks to the centova support team, for forcing me to exercise my mind by checking dozens and dozens of log pages a day!
