[Suggestion] Track history - delete multiples

Open JavaShipped opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Firstly, this tool is nifty and makes streaming so nice. Thank you!

Issue: I'm running a medium viewership dnd stream and we run a "track list" at the end. I use snip's "Snip_History" to do that and just scroll through it reading from the file in obs. But it adds duplicates if they are played more than once. Occasionally the track list has 3 or 4 of the same track. This happens most with battle playlists.

Suggestion: So when a track is played more than once, it shouldn't re-add it to the track list.

Thank you for the kind words. If you wouldn't mind dropping a link to your stream I'd appreciate it (you can message it to me too if you want to keep it private). I like DND. :)

Thanks for the request and use-case for it. I like having duplicates in there as that data can be used to see how frequently a track is played, and can be used to build a list of songs you like the most. However, I can see where not having duplicates can be beneficial as well, especially in the case where you display the tracks at the end of a stream.

What I will likely do is:

  • Add an option to clear the history file on startup (and maybe the other files as well if separate)
  • Add an option to not add duplicates

I have no ETA for this addition but it is on my list. Thanks for the suggestion.

This is still on the agenda.
