AutoDJ skipping scheduled tracks

[Uwe Klotz]

There are multiple reports about skipped tracks in AutoDJ:

https://mixxx.discourse.group/t/auto-dj-loosing-tracks/20014
https://mixxx.discourse.group/t/tracks-skipped-in-auto-dj-mode-and-eventually-mixxx-crashes/22899
https://mixxx.discourse.group/t/tracks-dropped-in-autodj-mode/22925
https://mixxx.discourse.group/t/linux-mixxx-2-3-0-crashing-on-autodj-mode/22951

Maybe related, but probably a separate issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1941743

Memory leaks could be from anything and probably have nothing to do with AutoDJ.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

I can confirm this with the "Full Track Mode" and a slow spinning USB HDD.

[Darren Smithson (darrenitu)]

Hi Daniel, is this for the crashing or the skipping? We do have a USB drive
attached as a library overflow drive on the main server, but the Mixxx
library points only to the internal drive. Plus on the show computer in a
different location, we don't have a drive attached, and the same thing
occurs (both crash wise and skip wise).

If we detach the drive and change from full track from the main server,
will that decrease the number of crashes until a proper fix is released?

Thanks

This was for the skipping. However, I can no longer reproduce the issue even without the linked pull request, so I am not able to verify if may changes are actually the fix.

Which AutoDJ fade mode and fade time did you originally use?
On which OS are you.

It would be very helpful if you can test the linked Pull Request.
Here is described how: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/wiki/testing

Thank you.

I have filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1944512 for the crasher.
@Darren, please attache your mixxx.log file after a crash there.

[Darren Smithson (darrenitu)]

Hi Daniel- it's Ubuntu 20.04.

I'll give the link you sent a try this weekend, I am going to soak retest
everything on Sunday!

PS I've always used full track and 3 seconds, except when in my live shows
and I do a live playout of 3 tracks with a 5 second crossfade.

Hi Uwe, I'll restart the server when I get to Studio B tomorrow and will
attach the log file as soon as it crashes! Fingers crossed it's as simple
to fix as the crash after a couple of days in v2x was all those years ago.

Hi Uwe, here is the log file from the latest crash (after less than 7 hours
of autoplay).

Thanks for providing a log file. The recurring warnings

Warning [Main]: CachingReader - Loading a new track while loading a track may lead to inconsistent states
Debug [CachingReaderWorker 2]: SoundSourceMp3 - MP3 frame header | layer: 0 mode: 0 #channels: 1 #samples: 36 bitrate: 0 samplerate: 0 flags: "0x0000"
Warning [Main]: Skip track with 0 Duration "/home/revolutionone/Music/Revolution Radio Music/Compilations/Classic Rock Presents One Nation Under A/04 Burn.mp3"

should already be fixed by https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/4319 and will be officially released with 2.3.2.

Please test the 2.3.x beta releases https://launchpad.net/~mixxx/+archive/ubuntu/mixxxbetas instead of 2.3.0 and report if this prevents the crash, which is now tracked in another bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1944512

[Darren Smithson (darrenitu)]

Awesome, thank you I will set that up and let you know the outcome.

Hi Uwe, it certainly looks like the track skipping is fixed, but Mixxx
still crashed after just 5 hours or so of autoplay. I've attached the
latest log file.

I have a live show Wednesday night from a Ubuntu 20 and Mixxx 2.3 computer
in a different location. Once that show is over, I will download the beta
to that and let that run AutoDJ overnight and until I leave on Friday PM,
just to make sure it is a common problem and not just this server. However,
I did a similar test on the second computer two weeks ago and that also
skipped tracks and crashed about about 8 hours of AutoDJ use, so I am
pretty sure it is a generic problem. Both computers are different
manufacturers and configurations, the only thing they have in common is
Mixxx 2.3 and Ubuntu 20.04.

Anyhow, here's the log. Good luck!

Thank you for confirming the thread.
Please let's discuss the crasher here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1944512

[Be (be.ing)]

Thank you for reporting your test results and attaching the log. Let's continue discussion about the crash on a new bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1945337

From the log it seems the crash is due to Mixxx saving metadata in a specific file, 04 - Stormy .mp3. Please test loading that specific file. If that crashes again, I do not think you will need to run AutoDJ for hours to reproduce the crash.

Then we need a backtrace to identify where the bug is. Refer to https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/wiki/Creating-Backtraces#linux--mac-os-x-with-xcode-4x for instructions how to make a backtrace and please attach the backtrace as a file on the new bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1945337
