Filed bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1438352 for this. Let's carry on the discussion over there. To answer your question, no I am not that well versed with the code at the moment. I have looked at the autoDJ dialog.cpp code and tried to understand a little. Maybe this week I will get mo

Hi Seemanta, Thank you for coming back to this. Do we have a Launchpad bug for your request? if not, file one. I think it is best to discuss the required changes there, because it is more sticky than this list. Do you already have a plan how to fix your issue? Please outline your plans at the bu

Hi folks, I am opening up this thread once again! I am trying to implement a feature wherein the AutoDJ list will be preserved and songs won't be knocked off from the list. The main reason for doing this is because of my use case. I am a Tango DJ (not a DJ in the traditional sense where songs are

Good idea, I thought of that. Call me lazy or a slob, but I refuse to do any sort of mental gymnastics during a dance. I want the software to take care of everything for me, which in this case is a simple expectation of being able to play music off of a playlist. Yet this might be a stop gap solut

One thing you might try is using the "requeue" feature, and having a special track that you always put at the start of your playlist called "---Playlist Top". This could be a simple silent mp3 for instance. Then after dancing when you go back to your laptop, you can im

Thanks, Ryan. I totally understand that AutoDJ wasn't created for my use case and hence I am myself a little uncomfortable drastically changing the guts of AutoDJ. I don't want to go against the larger vision which the lead maintainers have for Mixxx. That being said, I do want to enahnce Mixxx so

Hi, The auto DJ is a waiting queue! Knocking of played tracks from the Auto DJ, is the essence from the current implementation. It follows precisely the workflow of a CD or Vinyl DJ and works well together with the History feature. I would strongly recommend to keep this model, because it is hi

Why do we remove tracks from the queue at all? That's inconsistent with crates and playlists (not to mention winamp and itunes, right?). And the requeue thing is even weirder, why does that exist? On Fri, 2014-09-26 at 12:07 -0700, Sean M. Pappalardo - D.J. Pegasus wrote: > Hello. > > On 09/26/
