Playlist skipping items and playlist runs empty

Hello,
Sometimes my playlist is skipping items. See below, so the playlist will run empty. i thought when i make one emergency task when the playlist runs empty, but that one is also not starting up. Below the error report. Does anyone know how to solve this? (After restart mAirlist everything works fine again) Thank you for your support. Peter

(edit by Mod: reformatted)

Last night it happend again, so this morning i had no running playlist… If i look in the database and check for errors I see not a problem or error. What could be the problem and why this is happening every week?

Are there any fixed times involved in the playlist?

Thank you for your reply. During the weekdays i don’t have fixed times. I only use them in the weekend (with DJ’s because their show is sometimes to long).
It is a normal non-stop hour with one block. See screenshot below. Could the "overflow setting " the problem?

I checked the code. There are only two conditions where items are skipped and the message “Skipping: xxx” appears in the log:

  1. “Skin in automation” check in the item options.

  2. Item marked as “overflow” because of the fixed time of a subsequent items.

Can you post a screenshot of that 01:00 hour how it looked in the DB when you scheduled it?

Hello Torben,

  1. I assume you mean “Skip in automation” in the playback options?

    None of them had this setting. If you do not mean this, please provide me with more details where to find it.
    Could it be that something is happening after executing event “Generating Playlist in Database”?
  2. Here is the screenshot of the playlist. You can ignore the underrun. I changed things in de database this weekend. In the 2 screenshots above in my last post you see the runtime was good and had no errors.

thank you for your support!

I am out of options.
