Hi @all.

Since Dominion I can¦t use my jukebox playing all songs in a loop.
Everytime I start a song, it won¦t continue to the next in queue.
This also happens whenever I warp via an acceleration gate - the battle-sound plays automatically, but when it ends it won¦t continue with the standard queue.


Btw - I use the default EVE-music and all songs are visible inside the jukebox.

I¦d be glad if someone got an idea...

Of the 67 songs in the built-in playlist, there's 15 that (for me) cause the jukebox not to go to the next song after they play. The 15 "bad" songs are:
Below the Asteroids
Costs of Conflict
Green Nebula
In The Depth Of Space
Merchants, Looters and Ghosts
Omens
Path Of The Cursed
Point of No Return
Primordial Star Clouds
Seek And You Shall Find
The Hunt
The Jovian Front
The Solidary Pilot
War Relics
Where Evil Lurks

In addition to the jukebox stopping after playing any of these songs, I also have the issue that if I go through an acceleration gate that has a song linked to it, the jukebox stops after playing the acceleration gate tune once.

By building a custom play list that excludes the above 15 songs, I've been able to get continuous play.

I had this problem as well with the standard playlist!

The reason seems to be: It can't handle relative paths very well.

What fixed it for me was basically having a program like Winamp which can read extended file lists:

1.) get a tool like exStuff Explorer
2.) start tool, locate resPlaylists.stuff and extract content into the directory path res/Audio/Jukebox inside your EVE main folder if it doesn't exist there otherwise skip straight to 3.)
3.) load the extracted inflight.m3u into WinAmp and save it at another drive (forces WinAmp to write the absolute paths into the file) in m3u format under any name you want
4.) if 2.) was true then delete the previously extracted inflight.m3u
5.) copy the file you generated in 3.) where you want to or leave it
6.) now the tricky part, generating the file name with proper path, right-click file in explorer and copy&paste the path, replace :\ by :\\, add a \ at the end of the string followed by the actual name of the playlist file
7.) Enjoy a running continuous playlist once again!

PS: You may still need to manually start the music player in the game but from there it should be as usual. It may work similar for custom playlist, the often overlooked parts are: playlist must contain absolute paths, the path to the playlist must be proper like C:\\EVE\myplaylist.m3u

We are aware of the problem. If someone of you is testing on Singularity, feel free to try to reproduce the problem there, it should be fixed.

That's great, but the players have been told time and time again by CCP that Singularity in no way can be guaranteed to represent that which is published to Tranquility.

As a result, why would we spend time testing in an environment that may or may not actually represent the environment in which we play? Are we now to trust that stuff on Singularity will definitely make it up to Tranquility and thus make it worth our [valuable] time to test?

Please be consistent with your communications.

so what you're saying is that we shouldn't bother testing stuff on the test server purly for the fact that it may or may not be on TQ?
