Start Time Calculating Only 3/4 Of The Playlist

Hello djsoft,

I ran into a small bug earlier today. The start time calculation only calculates the start time for about 3/4 of the playlist. It was a 24 hour playlist.

It's not a bug - it calculates no more than 500 tracks (sometimes more, sometimes less). This is done to save some CPU. Do you need this calculation to be farther than 500 tracks?

Yes. It would be easier to make day playlists if the start time could extend 500 tracks.

You can extend this limit if you like:
1. Open RadioBOSS
2. Click Settings->Open Settings folder
3. Close RadioBOSS (important!)
4. In the folder opened on step 2, open player.ini file
5. Look for a CountStartTimeFor variable, by default it's
CountStartTimeFor = 450
Change the 450 value to a higher one, eg. 2000.
6. Save the file.
Now RadioBOSS will count start time for more tracks.

Note: the start time calculation is not 100% accurate and error accumulates, eg. on a 1000th track it can be incorrect for several minutes (depending on crossfade settings, gap killer).
