Circular playlist reference error

[4jleshell]

Hello,
To say I am a novice would be an understatement! I am using RBCloud and working with a schedule built by someone who is now deceased, and another person who is very leery of making changes because most things work well. We added a new show and playlist and it keeps stopping mid show and we are getting all sorts of errors that I don't understand and can't find reference too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This error message means that a playlist contains reference to itself - directly or indirectly (via intermediate playlists).

Above this error you will see the playlist name, you should check it in the Media section.

Thank you. Does this mean the playlist were likely created in a way that is causing the problem for the system. The screenshot for LostandForgotten is the new one that we are having the problems with. The Soulshackmonday screenshot works ok. I don't understand why you need to keep inserting the playlist multiple times as the person who set this up for me has done????

The "(Playlist) ..." entries you see are references to playlists - when this item is encountered, it will open up this playlist and add tracks from there. The "circular reference" error means that it's entering a potentially endless loop, e.g., a playlist is opened but in the opened playlist there's also reference to the same playlist and this would never end. The system detects such cases and shows an error.

I don't understand why you need to keep inserting the playlist multiple times as the person who set this up for me has done????

I'm not sure what the idea was, so I can't tell you why they did it.

Awesome!! Thank you so much!! I am slowly grasping it that one was referring it to the track list to grab a song as opposed to trying to add the whole playlist again. If I set-up my list for the JACQUiE-O show like it is in the attached screenshot, it should go to the track list and play 2 songs, then 1 sweep, then play 1 more song and 1 more sweep. THEN it will go nuts because it is going to try to ADD all of the songs from the whole PLAYLIST if I leave it exactly as it is pictured.....am I understanding it a little bit???

Track List will take one take from a playlist or folder. Playlist - will load all tracks from the playlist.
