M1 keeps stopping as it schedules with the rule violation “Same Song Previous Day”. What can I do to fix that?
It’s happening because the natural rotation formula for the category has songs coming up near the same time every day and you’ve got the Previous Day Separation rule set for a wider window than is possible. Here’s a quick fix…but the best thing to do is to correct the rotation pattern of the category itself by changing the number of songs in it.
