> must periodically have to restart a PAL? It's hard to say without seeing the PAL script, but I assume that SAM is not always able to pick songs, thus not filling the queue with the expected 8 songs, and eventually you get a situation where 8 songs does not play.
That's why I like to monitor the size of the queue, and if it reaches < 4, I put in more songs.

So there is always something sitting in the wings, just in case. Maybe SAM can't find a song to fir the rotation category or something like that? Now, I asked a question a week or so ago, with no response. Any idea why I must periodically have to restart a PAL? My rotation of music is all done by PAL script. I have it set to fill the queue after 8 songs have played. For some reason, once in a great while, I have to stop and restart it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Louis Louw" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 3:02 PM Subject: RE: [General-discussion] Ghost Queue > Hi, > > When the queue is not set to keep at least one song in the queue, SAM will > go ahead and select the next song to play behind the scenes. > This allows for quicker response at the end of tracks as selecting songs > can > be a very CPU intensive task ... and doing all that work at the moment > songs > needs to cross-fade isn't always the best. > > It is recommended to keep the GhostQueue enabled, unless you directly > change > the Queue via SQL. > > > Sincerely, > Louis Louw > http://www.spacialaudio.com > http://www.spacialnet.com > http://www.audiorealm.com > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Michael Hughes > Sent: 17 September 2007 05:14 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [General-discussion] Ghost Queue > > Could anyone explain what the GhostQueue is all about? > _______________________________________________ > General-discussion mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.spacialaudio.com/mailman/listinfo/general-discussion > > TO unsubscribe to this list, simply send a blank email to > [email protected] > > with the subject > 'unsubscribe' > > > _______________________________________________ > General-discussion mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.spacialaudio.com/mailman/listinfo/general-discussion > > TO unsubscribe to this list, simply send a blank email to > [email protected] > > with the subject > 'unsubscribe' > _______________________________________________ General-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.spacialaudio.com/mailman/listinfo/general-discussion TO unsubscribe to this list, simply send a blank email to [email protected] with the subject 'unsubscribe'
