No, the StationVoices are not in the cartwall. As you can see in the screenshot below, there is a StationVoice after a jingle in the playlist. According to the script, that is not possible — a maximum of one jingle can be played between two songs. Therefore, I believe it can hardly be anything other than a StationVoice.

I am not talking about your cartwall! I am talking about your regular media libraries.
You have defined (according to the debug log) a following script-line:

Code: Select all

Script-Line 6: Random : ANYOF:2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
And this script-line returns the 'track' "Jingle - A2623-pink" !
So in the playlist this is a regular script track and NOT a station voice file! But you assume, that this entry is a StationVoice file and as such that the related track from PINK is missing.
But it is not missing anything, as your "Jingle - A2623-pink" is contained as a normal track in your media library.

Please add the column 'Source Info' to your playlist and you can even monitor, from where a playlist entry is originating.

My apologies, you are right, it’s my mistake.

Then my next question is: is it possible to select a song from the media library in the script and add a StationVoice before the song, if one is available?

BTW: The filename is "Adele - Easy On Me.StationVoiceBefore.mp3" but the metadata title is "A2646=2542-adele"

That is the whole point and idea of station voice files!
E.g. when a script selects the track "Adele - Easy On Me.mp3" ProppFrexx will check, if a track with the name "Adele - Easy On Me.StationVoiceBefore.mp3" is available, and if yes, this track is added before the Adele track selected by the script. If not, the Adele track is played as is without any additional file before.

The meta data of any track doesn't really matter. The meta data is used for streaming title updates and (probably) for your history checks.

As already said before: I might add a new option to the next version to skip station voice files from loading folder based media libs - that will already solve your issue!

Thank you, Bernd. It would be great if you could add that option to the next version.

A new v4.5.2.5 is now available, which excludes filenames ending with .StationVoiceBefore and .StationVoiceAfter from any folder based media libraries.

Wow, that was fast. I tested it, and it works flawlessly. Thank you, Bernd!
