"Remove Songs from Queue when Played" not working (always On).

  • Device model : iPad before M1
  • Version of operating system : IOS : 16.7.10
  • Version of djay : 5.2.4
  • Hardware/controllers used : Not controller related

Hello,
Automix works great on my Mac, but I have issues on my iPad.

On the iPad, the setting “Remove Songs From Queue When Played” (in settings/Library) does not seem to work when using Automix. Songs are always removed from Queue, although I would like NOT to remove them (but whatever the switch setting, song is removed). For clarification, I am talking about the Main queue (not the Automix queue. I understand, the Automix queue has to move to next song). But the song should not be deleted from the Main queue. This behaviour is correct on the Mac, but not on iPad.

Illustration

First, let’s check my settings : I want songs NOT to be removed from Queue when played.

Now, let’s start Automix. As already discussed for Issue 2, Automix will double-load song 1 on both decks (not good, but this is not the point of Issue 1 we are discussing here.

But then, when the song has been played (the first of the two times), Djay will remove it from the MAIN queue. Obviously, it has to be removed from the Automix queue, but not the MAIN queue. As you see in the bottom right corner, the queue I am showing is the MAIN queue, and the song is gone after playing, although my settings are instructed not to do so. Again, this works perfectly on the Mac (song is NOT removed from main queue on the Mac, even with Automix).

Thank you

Hi again @Davidv100, thanks for the clear explanation and screenshots. This is very helpful. I’ve passed this onto our engineering team for further review and will report back when I have news. Thanks!

Hi @Davidv100, we were unable to reproduce this internally. 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!

Hello! It’s been more than a week my last reply. I’m going to consider this topic completed for now so I can focus on others. However, please feel free to respond and we can definitely revisit this. Thanks!

Hello @Slak_Jaw,
I have had a busy week, plus a couple busy days ahead.
Will try to post a video+link for this + double loading on Automix + Starting Automix in the middle of a playlist this Sunday 11/10 or Monday 11/11 at the latest.

The issue is really existing, and happens consistently (every time).
There is something wrong when Automix on iPad when using “Queue” as source.
This problem do not happen when using Automix sourced from a Playlist (everything is fine when using a playlist). Problem is specific to Automix with “Queue”.

Thank you for your comprehension (till 11/10 or 11/11).

EDIT : I will still try to do it today 11/08 (but not sure)

Here it is : Automix and queue - songs removed and double loading.MOV - Google Drive

I made sure the file can be opened by “anyone with the link”.

Can you confirm you could download it (then I would prefer to remove it for security reasons)

Thanks for the video @Davidv100. This is very helpful. I have forwarded this to the engineering team to see if they can reproduce the issue and offer any suggestions. I’ll report back here when I have news. Thanks!
