Playlist/song interrupted and restarted my playlist script from the beginning

Post by incrypto »

Hello,

I was just listening to my stream (and so was another listener) and it interrupted the current song/playlist and just started playing the first song of the first playlist in the script. Under what conditions will that happen? My internet connection might have dropped for just a few seconds. Would that cause it? Is there a setting to prevent that from happening?

Thanks,
Steve

Without knowing your exact program scheduler setup and script, I can only guess...
However, a script will loop its script-lines (as explained in the tutorial videos) whenever the underlying playlist/program demands more tracks, i.e. the program is not finished resp. stopped by a next program. Either this might explain the looping; or your next program uses the same script and its plays by definition of your script the first song again.

A track however is only interrupted in three cases:
1. the program is finished and a new program is starting, either with a Fixed start time or because the Max. Start Delay/Max. late value apply.
(click on the ? icon at the top right to get detailed info how they work.
2. you have used a Fix-Time-Element (FTE) in your script.
3. a Next cue-point in a track finishes the current track and starts the new one.
