Double play on tracks and misc. other issues with running Auto DJ Playlists

[Michael Klein]

Here is a transcript of a chat session with Mixxx:

[13:47] <mickey> can anyone tell me why Mixxx will play a track twice back to back in a set playlist?
[13:56] <Pegasus_RPG> mickey: unless it's listed twice, that sounds like a bug
[13:56] <Pegasus_RPG> Is it playing every track twice?
[14:01] <mickey> not every track, but more often than not
[14:15] <Pegasus_RPG> Hmm that's a tricky one to debug... does the console output show anything?
[14:17] <mickey> it just loads the duplicate track into one of the decks. After it plays the second time, it moves on to the next file.
[14:18] <mickey> Additionally, I am trying to use Mixxx to live stream and it wants the LAME file. I have tried to use the ones listed through your website, but after downloading he zip file, it says it can't open the files to extract. I'm using 7-Zip to extract
[14:19] <mickey> Lastly, when it does move on to the next file to play, it cuts off the first second or two of the track
[14:25] <Pegasus_RPG> Can you file a bug with your system details?

Additionally, the latest incident is that the Auto DJ just suddenly stops playing anything, and is a bit of a trick to get it started again. I am using Mixx to handle programming on an FM radio station when we're not setting live in the control room, and it is a little upsetting that when I am away from the station and the sound of our broadcast suddenly stops, or double plays a track.

Mixx is operating on a Windows 8.1. I'm not familiar with the processor or hardware configuration, but the computer is an HP Pavilion 23 "All in one".

Which version of Mixxx is effected?
It there something suspicious in the mixxx.log file?

[Michael Klein (mklein-o)]

Good morning Daniel!

Thank you for your response. The version of Mixxx I'm using is 1.11.0, and I haven't noticed anything special about the log file - frankly, I didn't know to look. The strange thing is that I've only been using Auto DJ since this past weekend, and it started out working fine. I noticed the double plays beginning on Tuesday (I think).

Thanks for your help, and I'm anxiously awaiting your reply!

Hi Michael,

this bug was fixed in Bug #1206080, but the solution is not released.
I have also no workaround for this.
But we have a 1.12 alpha builds including the fix.
So if you do not fear using an an alpha version, you may try
one of these builds:
http://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/1.12/release/

[Michael Klein (mklein-o)]

Thank you Daniel -

When will the solution be released to the general public? Again, since I am using Mixxx to run my radio station, I want to be sure it doesn't go hay-wire in my new computers. So if I do try the "alpha" version, what risks are there that I should be concerned with?

I appreciate all your help!

Unfortunately we have no date.
Like any other software Mixx has issues. Just look at the open bugs.
But I am sure there are more bugs fixed then we have introduced.
I use the 1.12 alpha live and for my feeling it is much better then
1.11.
