RadioBOSS 6.0 [beta]

[patrick.de-bruyn]

if you add a song to the active playlist with drag and drop, the calculated start time is not updated.
Even if I change the song position in the playlist, the time is not updated
In the 5.9 version this time was updated on the fly even if there was no music playing in the active playlist

 

[tomimatko]

What do you think about implement Prelisten columns (like in Playlist) in Search Box? It would be a little easier than constantly mouse klick and Alt + R?

 

[mediosprodan]

Excellent the requested option to delete track before File type. It continues without fading when the track is advanced or double-clicked on another track to change the current one (both tracks sound simultaneously). Still not highlighted "SEARCH" with any color in the Main Lists.

Hi
There no improvments in TRACK LIST
- Separation Artist is NOT respected
- It plays music already played when there are tons without any playing counts

 

[jpp]

Sugestion:
- Dayparts: When a song is played in a period of the day, next time it can't be played at the same period and it can only played on the next daypart that wich one can decide by choosing a period of hours

 

[mediosprodan]

More options could be added in: file explorer > organize by. For example by track number, modification date, Album

Good afternoon from Greece. My name is George and I am a blind user. So yesterday afternoon we had a discussion with the Association of the Blind of Greece Regarding your program. There are many blind people who work in shops as DJs. Of course, the best program in accessibility is radioboss! but there is something that we hope you will incorporate even in this version. A blind user as well as a normal person without any particularity Needs control over the changes of the tracks and where the change will take place. It's very easy Well when we pre-listen A Song To be able to go where we choose to get that point on the air. This will help not only us who have vision problems but also many around the world. The radioboss is the best! So why not have this feature that will make life even easier for us? Thank you and I hope this happens soon. Yours sincerely!

Esta dando erro em comandos quando inseridos na playlist. Apesar de aceitar o comando, a playlist congela e nao pula a faixa.
Segue abaixo mensagens de erro no log

Command: set autointro off
Unable to play! Error code 2 (unable to open the file/invalid server address).

Sugestion
In Music Library i would like to suggest the option to RESET ALL the playcounts and the option to CLEAR the Last Played but would be usefull if you add the HISTORY of the songs by right clicking a title, chosing HISTORY and open a browse with the dates/hours of the last 5 times (or more) it played on RBoss.

 

[nelson c]

Completely disable replay control rules, and the log keeps saying the same thing.
In addition, the playlist generated was 2 hours, when in reality it should be 18 hours.
The source is m3u playlist

Also on that built playlist I am seeing that the metadata of the track does not match with the playlist.
I attach the generated playlist

 

[nelson c]

It would be interesting to be able to see the AutoIntro file that is going to be inserted, in addition to giving the possibility to manually cancel it

 

[nelson c]

Multiple selected tracks cannot be dragged in the playlist. This is a bug?

 

[tomimatko]

Multiple selected tracks cannot be dragged in the playlist. This is a bug?

Yes, please bring this back...

 

[djsoft]

- Commands when in "Event> Multiple event action" and in "Playlist generator> Category> Track source" then takes long time to execute. About 2-3 sec. In 5.9 it takes milliseconds. (6 and 5.9.4 are one same PC).
While commands as a single Event execute instantly.

Yes there indeed is a delay between executing the commands, will be fixed in the next update.

- In crossfades for some file types I turn on "Override previous track mix". But when they playing it always ends with fade out? In 5.9.4 there is no fade out.

It overrides the mix, but does not change fade out. If you also have "Start fading out on mix" (for the previous track) the fade out will be changed.

- In Event> Multiple event action if there more lines the lines can be dragged.
Can the same be done for lines in Playlist generator> Category> Track source?

The sources are anyway loaded to a single list when playlist is created, so the order does not matter, why drag the items?

It appears that mapped drives are completely ignored by Release 6. Will this be addressed?

This does not seem to reproduce here. It shows both shared network folders and network drives. They are available in the drop down list, or when you select "This PC" they will also appear in the main list. Please see the image attached.

Good idea - will be implemented soon.

It continues without fading when the track is advanced or double-clicked on another track to change the current one (both tracks sound simultaneously)

Does it always happen, the two trackis playing? We do not seem to be able to reproduce it here. Can you please send a screenshot of Settings->Playback->Fading and Crossafdes windows?

Still not highlighted "SEARCH" with any color in the Main Lists.

The found track is marked with a selection, and is typically located at the bottom of the playlist.

 

[djsoft]

There no improvments in TRACK LIST
- Separation Artist is NOT respected
- It plays music already played when there are tons without any playing counts

There were no changes in the Track List feature compared to the previous version. The selection is random and it tries to play tracks that were not yet chosen.

Dayparts: When a song is played in a period of the day, next time it can't be played at the same period and it can only played on the next daypart that wich one can decide by choosing a period of hours

Yes, this is something we plan on developing in the future versions.

More options could be added in: file explorer > organize by. For example by track number, modification date, Album

Sorting by track number or other tag information will rerquire reading tags and it can significantly slower down the speed of file listing. If you need advanced sorting and searching features, the Search feature could be a better choice: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/search.htm

It's very easy Well when we pre-listen A Song To be able to go where we choose to get that point on the air

Do you mean track seeking while prelisten or while on air?

Hi when I click on something in the cart wall it wont stop until it runs its length. There is no way of stopping it if clicked by mistake.

Thank you for letting us know about this bug.

Command: set autointro off
Unable to play! Error code 2 (unable to open the file/invalid server address).

If you add commands to the playlist, use the Playlist->Add command feature, and if you modify playlist manually using text editor, include .command after the actual command, e.g. set autointro off.command

In Music Library i would like to suggest the option to RESET ALL the playcounts and the option to CLEAR the Last Played but would be usefull if you add the HISTORY of the songs by right clicking a title, chosing HISTORY and open a browse with the dates/hours of the last 5 times (or more) it played on RBoss.

You can reset the playcount: https://www.djsoft.net/community/threads/reset-playcount-in-radioboss.6299/ and an option to also clear Last Played will be added too in the future versions. The played history column will be added to the music library.

Also on that built playlist I am seeing that the metadata of the track does not match with the playlist.
I attach the generated playlist

Thank you, it looks like track metadata is indeed wrong.

Multiple selected tracks cannot be dragged in the playlist. This is a bug?

Currently it's a limitation, only one track can be dragged. If you need to move multiple tracks it could be better to use Cut/Paste features.
