It's there now.

Regretfully, 32.0.57 did not fix the issue.

bob:
Just to update everyone, this is what I just sent in a PM:

This is kind of a catch22. Your player appears to be re-getting the playlist after each track played BUT your smartlist parameters make the playlist change after the first track is played (it won't show up in the smartlist any more). MC resets the cache on each call to get the playlist so the one returned next is different (starts with the 2nd track of the first playlist) and that messes up your player.
If we don't reset the cache (that was a fix back in MC30 to make smartlists update) you won't ever see smartlists change until you restart MC.

johnkaess:
I believe that Bob is correct in his analysis.

I would modify his comment by saying that MC will reset the playlist any time you change playlists. The way that i use MC, this is perfectly acceptable as i rarely use a smart playlist for more than a few hours before changing to another playlist, and if i then go back to the previous smartlist, it will reload it using the updated "Last Played" info which is what i expect.

From my perspective, this behavior is perfectly acceptable and does not impact my use of MC in any negative way, and is much more preferable than having any smartlist with the "Last Played" parameter in it hang and not go to the next song. I can understand that for some, this may not be the case.

At any rate, Bob has nailed down the issue and is looking at possible solutions.
