Summary0007293: Auto-DJ can fail in certain scenarios/should add tracks on other events
DescriptionCurrently, the events in which Auto-DJ adds tracks to the Now Playing list is quite limited. In fact, it only occurs when a track is first played. This can leave less than the configured amount of files in the Now Playing list, even to the point that playback stops! Therefor it's being requested that Auto-DJ reacts to some other events, such as:

1) When the feature is first turned on. If you only have one track in the NP list and it's playing when you turn on the feature, tracks are never added and therefor playback stops.

2) When the user chooses to remove an upcoming track from the Now Playing list. Again, if Auto-DJ is set to maintain 5 upcoming tracks and the user sees it added one that's uninteresting and removes it, that only leaves 4 upcoming tracks. Auto-DJ then doesn't replace this until a new track is played. This is another instance where the feature can fail to do what it's claimed to do, as if you have it set to maintain 5, and you remove all 5, you're again left with stopped playback at the end of the current track.

There may be some other events where it would make sense for Auto-DJ to add tracks, but those are the only two I can think of at the moment. I debated on whether to add this as a feature request (with some support on the forum) or a bug. As I typed this, I came to the decision to label it a bug because both scenarios given leave playback stopped and the feature not doing what it claims. Felt it at least warranted a review by you developers.
