Mistakes in functionality

[jellax75]

I love the innitiative, Ive been trying to solve this for years but I am no coder.

I have som questions/inputs

As it is now, when a guest adds a song, it gets added to queue, not play next. that means that If you load the evenings playlist, that you ususally do, and a guest enques a song. That wont be played for hours because it is dead list in the playlist.

Th eonly way around that is to not load a playlist, but the giest have to continue to add songs for the music to keep playing.

Or am I missing something here?

My strong suggestion would to change the add to queue function to play next instead.
That way you just start a playlist, activate Jukebox and if a guest adds a song, that will be played next, otherwise the music just keeps playing.

This was my initial coding but ended up in a situation where individuals can just keep queuing new songs and pushing others out indefinitely. The current logic adds songs to the end of the queue so play is in order of request, so it's fair.

Thanks for a quick response.

Yes I can see how overcrowding the queue would be an irritating issue.
So the queue lengt is ont the guest queue lenght? Is that something that coulde be achieved, keeping count of songs in the "guest queue"?
One thnog that also would be nice is that you have to put in a name when you want to queue songs, and maybe put a limit, no now song before the first one is played?

I have just installed this and it is fantastic, but I am noticing that when a song is added to the queue it is using a play next functionality, Is it possible to set it to do what you said above, just want to avoid the scenario when the first person to add a song gets played last.

Thanks
