RadioBOSS 7.2 [beta]

I think the “Start generate commands earlier” option should be moved from Settings > Scheduler to Scheduler Wizard > Generate a playlist, and it should be configurable per event.

There's a delay in the VU meter; the music starts and it takes almost a minute for the meter to go up.

This will likely be be added in the future, an option e.g. "Override global setting" but not in this beta because there are lots of other things that need to be done for this version.

And one more suggestion regarding Generate:
Would it be possible to add a log entry when the playlist has actually finished generating?

Yes, presently it will only show when it has finished with error, but not success.

I ran into a problem: it seems to ignore the no-repeat rule, since some songs had already been played, for example, 2 hours earlier—some even just a few minutes before. This happens even though the protection time to prevent them from being selected is set to 10 hours, 12 hours, etc.

It depends on when the playlist is generated and what the Start Time is. For example, if today is Thursday and you create a playlist for Sunday then repeat protection rules, even if set for like 12-hours as in your case, will not apply, because it's 36+ hours between those days.
Playlist Generator considers playlist's start time or repeat protection.

If you only set the start time and do not set start day, it's also taken into account, assuming the playlist will start later today (but calculating the time difference).

think it would also be good to display the icons in separate columns (The best option for us is this one, but only if you want to keep the file type icons.). It would also make sense to replace the “file type” icons with the played icons.

We'll consider this, thank you.

Another thing is that we need an option that was previously mentioned: “double-click to mark as next track.” It helps us a lot by allowing a faster and more dynamic selection compared to using the queue.

There's an option in Settings > Control: Mouse double click function. Another option may be added: "Add track to playback queue" what do you think? For now, you can add a track to the queue by selecting it and pressing Q.

We won't be adding another single-queue option just for setting the next track as it's a duplication of existing feature and having multiple conflicting next track options is not good.

No track is being considered. The line « Loaded tracks from the playlist window » indicates "0".

It means that the Playlist Generator was not started from within RadioBOSS. What happens if you generate the same preset, but from the scheduler?

Further thinking of this, it still may be added as an override of a global option.

A quick test does not confirm this, the meters work instantly after a track is started. Maybe a track itself has a quiet start?

The resize splitter between tracks doesn’t look correct.
It looks fine only in the Default theme — in other themes it’s not
