It worked – and then it broke

    I started using this and it was working great, even with 2 playlists on the same page.
    Then it suddenly developed a mind of its own and combined 2 playlists into one! It also wants to automatically insert the first playlist it finds (alphabetically).
    The top playlist should read “Mixed Up” (10 tracks) and start at the track “Boot 2 The Breaks”, and the bottom one “Extras” (5 tracks) should start at “EC Stinger”, but one keeps getting glued into the other.
    I’ve cleared the cache (both site & browser), checked and re-saved the playlists & the page.
    It is pasting a second playlist into the selector on the edit page (block editor), I remove it, update, still problems.

    On the page for Don Berns (under Spin That Mix), it seems to be fine with 2 playlists on the page.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    FYI, I may have fixed it – I switched to the Code Editor and noticed the second playlist hadn’t registered the album number – I manually added it, and the paged seems to work.
    I’ll see if I can recreate the problem on another page.
    Speaking of the “album number”, it would be great if that was visible on the front end of the playlist dashboard.

    Hi there,
    Thanks for your input.

    I understand that what was missing here is the album ID to make sure the playlist is playing the correct album ID. When no album ID is assigned, it will automatically play the latest published playlist (this is useful if you want a player to always play the latest playlist, instead of adding the album ID of the newest playlist everytime).

    For the album id to be visible on the front-end of the playlist dashboard, you mean to show the ID somewhere here as an example: https://d.pr/i/q78qB0 ?

    Thanks for the response and explanation, that does make some sense, though it might (if possible) be a good if there could be a “switch” in settings to have it perform that way or not (in the case of multiple playlists).

    Your screenshot regarding the ID is exactly correct – though with the option above, it might be less necessary.
