Hi Jon
I will test and report, as you suggest.
As an observation, I seem to have a distinct talent for discovering ingenious
ways to mess up anything which everyone else does without trouble! grin
Bring on Sunday's 3 hours of chaos and incompetence, aka "Rick Triumph in the
Afternoon".
Cheers
Rick

Hi Rick,
Again, useful stuff to know that you're seeing a distinct pattern of
behaviour. Can I just double check the exact steps here:
Specifically, when I double-click the mouse direct on a track from
the Daytime playlist it loads into the next available slot on the
relevant player. Subsequent to playing that track, and on my next
visit to the playlist, it will have changed colour to denote
"played". All as expected.
Conversely, if I single left-click the mouse on a track then left
click on the "play" button, although it loads in the relevant slot
without problem, and after playing it disappears from the player and
appears on the recently played list between the players, as you'd
expect. However, on my next visit to load from the playlist, that
very same recently played track is the same colour as the remaining
"available" (i.e. unplayed) tracks, as are any others which were
selected in the same way. This could be awkward, and may catch out
the unwary.
Hi Jon
Thanks for your comprehensive answer.
To perhaps help you further than my rather rambling earlier post
(which was done in a hurry at work)...

the Daytime playlist it loads into the next available slot on the
relevant player. Subsequent to playing that track, and on my next
visit to the playlist, it will have changed colour to denote

very same recently played track is the same colour as the remaining
"available" (i.e. unplayed) tracks, as are any others which were
selected in the same way. This could be awkward, and may catch out
the unwary.
To summarize, I recommend the first method outlined above as the most
reliable and will try to use it in my next show, which is the last
one for me this year.
Hopefully, this might help you nail it.
Rick

Hi Rick,
That sounds exactly like the problem that has been plaguing us. And
any info on how you use the system, no matter how trivial it sounds is
useful.
My best guess at the moment (and it is very much that) is that it does
seem to be related to how people use the software. Quite often when
perusing the music logs, particularly on weekdays, it looks like Simon
on breakfast gets a lot of these cropping up yet for the rest of the
day maybe one or two. I was actually looking at them when you were on
air Sunday and noted you'd had an awful lot of them cropping up as
well. So it does suggest that both of you are maybe doing something
that everyone else maybe doesn't do as much which is tripping the
problem. But what that is, I don't know....
This is also why I was keen for people to keep an eye on the info
presented in the panels:
https://www.oasw.co.uk/trac/ticket/467#comment:5
Your show would have been interesting to see but unfortunately Nick
decided to turn off the option that displayed the playlist name (he's
been suitably told off.....)
Somewhere along the line, the track seems to have "lost" it's
association with the playlist - which is why we're getting this
problem. Seeing whether it disappears from one of those panels may
help to figure out where it's getting lost.
Rgs,
Jon.

I mentioned a similar thing to Nick, but subtly different to Ralph's
experience; when I select the next playlist track with a single
click, then right click on play it loads okay. But when I next go to
playlist, although I know the one before has been played, it hasn't
changed colour which indicates to me that it hasn't been played.
However, if I double click on a track it immediately loads as do
others on the list if I do a multiple selection, and on my next
visit they have changed colour.
It's an anomaly which could catch a a DJ out, if they haven't been
paying attention!
Sorry if this just complicates things further, but it may help you
figure out what's going on.
Rick

Hi Jon. This happened this afternoon. I’m not sure if it’s the same
that Nick has been on about or not. So. I clicked on the load button
and the next track came up automatically as it always does. Then
pressed play to put it in the top of the player, as you do. It never
reached the top player. It vanished. When I went to load again it
was sitting there but showed up as played. I tried it again. It went
through the correct motions until I tried to put it in the top
player. As per the video. It was a track marked Blue so a New Music
track. About 5:16/17 pm.
