Is there a way to set the program from playing the same song twice in an x amount of time?
IE x song is played at 2pm and i do not want it played again for 3 hours. After this set variable (3 hours) passes it will be playable again.

If there is someone in particular that I should reach out to please let me know.

Thanks in advance, for any support you may be able to offer.

If it helps any, I will donate to any developer that can create this concept.
 
I started thinking about this but I can't figure out why you want it, give me some background
 
I run a rink and my on going and off going djs sometimes play the same tracks (not on purpose). Sometimes we just do not have the time to sit and look to see if it was played recently within the system, we can get busy at times. This is where having the machine just automatically skip over or not allow it to be placed into automix would be benificial to us.
 
Ok that makes sense now, I think I have a fuzzy idea how it will be done,

I'll think out loud here hopefully staff can confirm or deny if it will work or give me pointers to better methods

rsi script queries loadpulse
Once true queries not played
[I'll reverse the replies here for clarity]
if not not played [i.e. played] unload the track
if not played, cycle a variable to a number that won't be cycled round by tracks loaded in 3 hours [like 90]
query the variable equals and set a uniquely named variable [named by the query process] to get_filename
also launch a uniquely named rs script that after 1080000ms [3 hours] gets the variable string, searches for it and then marks as unplayed

duplicate files will be a problem maybe artist title might be the way.
 
Thanks locodog! Yes the thought of doubles have crossed my mind. however, this would be a start to eliminate the mistake of doubling so quickly.
 
I think I'm close but I have a snag that I need staff to answer,

Can I store text [get artist title] in a variable

here the basic plan, store the string in the variable a delayed script calls the variable and searches for the track [to mark as unplayed]

repeat_start_instant 'catchPulse' 125ms & load_pulse ?
----nothing :
----repeat_start 'wait' 250ms 1 & not_played ?
--------unload :
--------load_pulse ?
------------cycle '$played' 90 & var_equals '$played' 1 ?
----------------get_artist_title & param_cast & set '$track1' & repeat_start 'resetTrack1' 60000ms 1 & get_var '$track1' & param_cast & search : ----------------nothing
 
Hopefully they can help, I am excited to get this working. thanks again.
 
Right then, it needed some outside the box thinking,

[So far outside the box even staff didn't think storing strings was possible]

but I think I have an answer.

Before I set to with a mammoth typing task, more info from you.

Is it just automix you want this for
What automix deck set up, singe or dual
What skin do you use
 
ran into a problem,

I can store the text, and I can get the text and search for it and mark it as unplayed.

There's a problem with the repeat start system, [reported] so I can't give you your exact 3 hours.

So I've got to rethink it, would something like a 'no repeat of the last 60 songs' do for you.
 
Is it just automix you want this for: Yes. However if possible maybe affect the deck its dropping into.
What automix deck set up, singe or dual: Single
What skin do you use: OrangeJuice created by djnice :o)

would something like a 'no repeat of the last 60 songs' do for you. Yes that could work too, Nice idea!
 
Any luck?
 
ran two ways and the first one would have done the job but the rs script system wouldn't allow a get-text to be delayed [as to mark as unplayed after x time], ran the second way and while it worked if you followed a very specific method, it was too prone to error [actual real life list building], I'm going to learn some more c# I think that will be the best option.
 
Lame! Thank you for giving it a go. If you figure out a way, I will donate money.
 
For your information, we have just fixed the following GUID in the SDK. There was mistake on the last number.

IID_IVdjPluginBuffer8 = { 0x1d00e65f, 0x44c7, 0x41bf, { 0xa3, 0x6b, 0x04, 0xda, 0xf2, 0x67, 0x3b, 0x98 } }

Sorry for any inconveniences
 
I am sorry, I am confused by what this is supposed to mean?
 
Stuff for me. [it's pretty over my head too]
 
That's not good! If its over yours, it is defiantly over mine. LOL
 
Any luck with this plug in?

We can't prevent you from playing a song but one idea is when you load a song on a deck, it displays you a warning. I think it's possible this way.
