Djay - Automix, after some videos, visual effects shown instead

Using Djay Pro, when i use Automix to play and show multiple videos from a playlist after some videos (+13) suddenly the videos are not shown anylonger but instead a visual effect is played!

Is this a memory problem? Why does it automatically switch to a visual effect instead of showing the video? Can’t use the app with this kind of bug.

First i thought its because of some broken video files but i tried with different formats. There are no erros popping up, it simply doesn’t play the video. If i remove some random vidoes then suddenly those videos which were not shown before are shown … Therefore i think it has to do with memory or performance … Is there a way to always force to play the video?

I have djay pro on my new iphone 16.

To reproduce quickly i manually forced mixing to next song 13 times in a row …
Can somebody reproduce this behaviour? Or do i need to add further information?

Thanks @psyron. I could not reproduce this issue on my setup. Can you please try to capture a video of the issue, upload it to your Google Drive/Dropbox, enable sharing permissions, then share a link to the video here? Thanks!

Thanks for your help!
I uploaded 2 videos in this link: https://file.io/78v7rvXyA3d3
One video with no problems. (first time with no problems)
Second video my problem occured again. Suddenly instead of showing the video i get those visual effects instead for multiple videos in a row.
Both videos using exactly the same playlist.

Do you need my actual music-video-files of my playlist so you can reproduce it?

I discovered a strange solution for my problem:
When i just before selecting a playlist scroll down to first see all songs then my problem doesn’t occur.
It’s like if the video thumbnails are loaded once then there will be no problems while playing the video playlist in automix.
Very strange behaviour - maybe this info helps to fix this strange bug.

At least i know now how to avoid this bug :slight_smile:

Hi @psyron, sorry for the delayed reply. I’ve been out of the office. Thanks for the videos. I’ve passed these onto engineering to see if they can reproduce the issue and offer any suggestions. Glad to hear you found a work around in the meantime.

Hi again @psyron, unfortunately, I did not download the videos you shared above and the link is not longer valid. Could you please share them again? Thanks!
