Constraints

I’ve noticed that Constraints work only within the same Library.
For example, if in a Category I select multiple Libraries instead of just one (Tracks), Constraints do not take other Libraries into account.
This means that rules are applied only inside each individual Library.

It would be very useful if Constraints could work across different Libraries — for example, to prevent Tag "Hot" from different Libraries from being played one after another.

Constraints should also work across presets, I'll add it to the list of possible bugs to check.

Update on this, checked in the latest version, the bug is not confirmed. Constraints work across all categories, including categories that use other categories as a source.

I’m not sure — it doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes it appears.
Here is an example.
In all cases I have:

• Constraint → After Tag “Hit” → Do not select Tag “Hit”
• Constraint → After Tag “Hit 2” → Do not select Tag “Hit 2”

In the Category, instead of Tracks, I selected Category, and I set Weight = 1 for all of them, so they should be played evenly.
However, this situation still happens again, as shown in the screenshot.
I checked everything several times. Each category has enough tracks, and in this case, the playlist length is set to 1 hour.
Out of 10 playlist loads, this issue appears in maybe 2 playlists.
RadioBOSS does not report any error.
