Hi,I updated RadioBOSS to version 7.2.3 and noticed that the Next Track display issue is still present.The changelog says:“Fixed the Next Track display occasionally showing information for the wrong track.”Unfortunately, it still occasionally shows information for the wrong upcoming track on my system, exactly as before the update.I had reported this issue previously as well, so I wanted to let you know that it does not appear to be fully fixed in 7.2.3.Thanks!
Next Track display issue still present in RadioBOSS 7.2.3
- Thread starter Flashh
- Start date
Sometimes I do manually remove or add tracks to the playlist, but the issue also happens when I make no manual changes at all.
There are no scheduled events starting before it happens either. The Previous Track and Next Track displays can still show the wrong tracks during normal automatic playback with the playlist left untouched.

We were unable to reproduce the issue, so we'd need more information on this.
Please open Settings > General, click Advanced Configuration button, go to Logging, enable "Playback debug log" and "Main player debug log" options and restart RadioBOSS.
When this happens again, in the menu click Settings > Open Settings Folder, send mainplayer.log and playbackdebug.log files, from there we'll be able to better understand what happens.

The files received, thank you. Please check if this still happens in the latest RadioBOSS 7.2.4.
From the logs you have send we were unable to confirm the problem - the displayed next track and actually played next track were always in sync. It looks like the problem is somewhere else, e.g., you use remote desktop connection and maybe it doesn't redraw the next track part properly.
What happens if you click the Next Track box, does it jump to the correct track?

I noticed something that may help reproduce the issue.
If I minimize the Remote Desktop connection to the taskbar for a while and then restore it, the Next Track display often shows the wrong track.
If I then minimize the RadioBOSS window itself on the VPS and restore/maximize it again, the Next Track display immediately becomes correct.
So it seems that the actual next track is correct, but the Next Track panel is sometimes not redrawn/refreshed properly after restoring the Remote Desktop session.

Yes, this is what we thought the reason was, as there seems to be no way for actual next track/next track UI box to go out of sync.
I don't think there's a solution for this (and it also doesn't happen here when we test it with RDP connection); the Next Track box properly updates its state (e.g., "needs redraw") and then it's up to system to handle this state. Looks like RDP has some sort of caching/optimization/bug that prevents it from properly redrawing. Maybe it'll get resolved in one of the next Windows updates.
