I recently started using Mixxx as an internet radio software and it requires that the cued files run non-stop. But I noticed that after uploading over a thousand files with the "Repeat Playlist" button enabled on Auto Dj; it gets to a mystery point and stops. I will attach the log file below(courtesy Ronso - Mixxx designer) to enable quick debugging.

The repeated log entries are all related to a file which cannot be read. Soon after we see the following log entry :-

Debug [Main]: Failed to load track QFileInfo(E:\Playlists\DRPLMAR20205\Sammie Okposo - Oghene Doh.mp3) "The file 'E:\\Playlists\\DRPLMAR20205\\Sammie Okposo - Oghene Doh.mp3' could not be loaded."

The AutoDJ bug looks like a duplicate of bug #⁠1893197

Thanks, James. But is there something I could do to mitigate the current situation? Like is there a kind of an acceptable file extension format, settings, or something.... I have been on my toes ever since constantly checking if Auto Dj has stopped. The issue is not just a file that is the culprit, Thank you sir.

I have prepared a Mixxx version with more debug output when using auto DJ.
Can you please try to reproduce the issue with the build found at the bottom of this page?

I apologize for not doing this sooner. It has been really busy for me.
So I downloaded the "Window Installer" from GitHub as instructed. And shortly after the installation; it stopped as usual and I shut down Mixxxx and copied out the log file as seen above.

Thank you the log reveals now the issue. By luck one of your tracks has started the follower track before is twas fully loaded. At this time the play command is ignored and the auto DJ stooped.

A possible fix is in #4698

I have actually used this link #4698 and it has fixed the bug. Auto DJ doesn't stop anymore. Thank you very much. Is there still the need to test this - https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/actions/runs/1981955789?
