[PAULO CESAR OURIVES]

Friends, when will we have this new version 7.2.1.1 finalized and ready for everyone to do this complete upgrade? I'm anxious for it, you have no idea. Tell me?!

I just retested and can confirm the issue is permanent, not occasional. It consistently occurs on auto intros that end at the fade-in point.
I also tried setting the fade time to 0.1 as suggested, but unfortunately it makes no difference — the problem persists.

Hi,
I get a different playback rendering depending on your Auto Intro settings (Rule • Position on track: End at "Fade in"): The vocal track and the track start at the volume defined in the settings (Playback > Fading > Auto Intro) and this volume increases until the "Fade in" point.
No difference if the Fade 0,0 or 0,1 second.

maybe do a check at startup from Radioboss?

This will increase startup times, which is not good, and also doesn't handle the case if the file was deleted later. It can be implemented as a right-click option for Cart Wall tab, so that who needs it can enable file existence checks. But disabled by default to for performance reasons.

Please let me know if you need any additional information or logs to investigate further.

Thank you. Yes, we have confirmed and fixed it here, the next update will have this resolved.

This would require it checking in the background (periodically) what files actually exist and with a large number of card walls it may consume some resources. How often is this is an issue?

For us, quite often - filenames change frequently which break connections on the cart walls, and like we have 50 odd cart walls for each of our presenters, we can’t go in and update them all.

Regarding checkin on RadioBOSS open, maybe it checks when the tab is active instead? Or when a card wall is loaded using the load function. We don’t ever close RadioBOSS so checking on open wouldn’t help too much…

There's no set date set for the release. We need to fix everything first to ensure the release has as little bugs as possible. But there are no open critical bugs so this beta is acceptably safe to be used in production.

There is a bug when an Auto Intro starts before the music track, and fading was wrong in this case sometimes. An update will be released soon to fix it.

Checking 50 cart walls could potentially be a performance hit. I'll add this to the requested features list, probably will be added in this beta. I think the most effective check would be on tab switch + periodically like every 10 minutes.

The track information (Artist – Title) is not being sent to the "nowplaying.txt" file when the track is played from the Cart wall slot and AUX Playlist.

Is it possible to add an option (either in the settings or advanced settings) to allow the information to be sent in the same way as in the player – playlist ?
By respecting the properties of each file type (broadcasting title). Or does this already exist?
