PROBLEM WITH REPEATING SONGS OF THE SAME GENRE

[Radio Format .network]

I am a satisfied new user except for one problem that I cannot solve. Before writing this post I even waited for the new version but the problem continues.

To test RadioBOSS, before I changed my current software, I only divided the music archive into 2 categories.

Each category has no filters. In ‘select tracks’ I chose “random”, in ‘start position’ I entered 1 and ‘number of advances ....’ is not ticked. In settings I set: 30 minutes for ‘Do not repeat artist’ and 90 minutes for ‘Do not repeat track’. Finally "Use the Last Played tag" is ticked

I reset all "Playcount" and "Last played" and generated with Playlist Generator Pro"

PROBLEM: After a few days I verify in the music library that some tracks have been played 3 times while other tracks 0 times!

The previous operation was repeated several times and always with the same problem!

QUESTION: with RadioBOSS is it possible to make it so that before playing a track of the same genre again, all the tracks of the same musical genre are played first?

attached 7 screenshots with the current configurations

thank you
P.S. I apologise for my bad English

After a few days I verify in the music library that some tracks have been played 3 times while other tracks 0 times!

The Playlist Generator selects track in random order (as you have configured) and ensures that the track passes all defined rules/filters/constrains as defined in the settings. It does not check how many times a track was played while selecting.

You can use the Priorities feature to make it select tracks that play less more often: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/plgen-cat3.htm

Thank you but you did not answer my question. Maybe my English is bad and I was not clear.

I don't want to use any priority and/or control which tracks play less often.

I would like to know if RadioBOSS, when no priority is set, has a configuration that allows it to play all tracks of the same genre first (randomly) and only after playing all of them, it will start playing (again randomly) a track that has already been played.
This way the result should be that, after resetting all ‘Playcount’ and ‘Last played’, after a few days I should find that each track has been played +/- once and not as now that some tracks have been played 3 times and some zero times

Thank You
