Question about skipping category

[ibek95]

Hi Dmitry,

I was wondering if it is possible that when a category is skipped (due to the rules I set, f.e. skip after event "jingle") - can the skipped category/song then be placed automatically at a later spot in the playlist?

I don't think it's really possible, as it would lead to unexpected track reordering; main problem is: skipped track would be silently sitting is some sort of a queue, waiting to play at some random time in the future. It may be then skipped again many times, in some cases e.g., day jingle moved to the night this way.

I understand. Hm, maybe it would be worth a try to set a maximum of spots it can be played "delayed"? For example when a category is skipped, this category can be played after another song or after 2 or 3 songs maximum. So that in best case it doesn't come to the situation that day jingles are played at night because the delay is so huge. But it depends on what the user has set elsewhere and what he needs.
