HI Daniel, yes, the Ubuntu Mixxx since 2.3 crashes between 12 hours and 72 hours of use on AutoDJ, which is a real issue as we have a 24/7 commitment to some radio directory services (in both U18 and U20). The track skipping however is no longer an issue since 2.3.1.

In answer to your questions:

Darren, is it possible to crash Mixxx by loading only a the few tracks that are where sheduled before and after the crash?

A: The only time it has crashed with a few tracks in the playlist is when there was a 3 hour recording in it. But it simply froze rather than completely crashed. NOTE: it has played 3 to 4 hour recordings before and since.

If you experience the crash again, are the same tracks involved?

A: No. Different tracks every time. We do have a large playlist in AutoDJ cos we broadcast 24/7 in between the live shows.

How does the memory consumption of Mixxx changes over the time?
Is it slowly raising?

A: I haven't noticed an increase in memory consumption, but will have a closer look- we're planning on restarting autodj this weekend.

By the way, I did attempt to install the backtrace feature but failed miserably. I'll have another go this coming weekend/early next week.

Thanks!
