Tasker Music play dir only play one song

.mp3 and .MP3 bug
If the filename is 'MyMusic.MP3' instead of 'MyMusic.mp3' the 'music play dir' wont play it.
Simple fix. Change the MP3 to mp3.

Bluetooth connect bug
This bug starten after I created a BT connected profile (on a Nexus 5). Before, the 'music play dir' worked. Even if BT was enabled. When I removed the BT connected profile the bug where still there. Therefore I quess that the BT connected profile save some settings in tasker that will make the bug appear. 

Tested on another phone, same model. Installed tasker. 'Music play dir' works when BT is enabled. 

TEST STEPS: 
Created a BT connected profile but did not connect any BT device to the phone: still works. 

Connected a BT device (another phone Nexus 5 lollipop). Profile activates and play first song only: Bug appeared. 

Disconnect BT device and BT is enabled: works again. 

Connected a BT device again. Used specific device name in the profile. Profile activates and play first song only: Bug appeared. 

Removed BT connected profile while BT is enabled and manually start 'music play dir': bug, only play one song. 

Disabled BT and manually start 'music play dir': works now 

Enabled BT and manually start 'music play dir': still works. 

Enabled BT and paired and connected a different device (handsfree): works this time ??? 

Tried again: works ??? 

Created a bluetooth connect profile but did not connect any device: works 

Connected a device (Nexus 5 lollipop): bug again, only play one song. 

Removed BT connected profile and disabled bt and enabled it again, press forget device (handsfree) in BT settings, paired and connected the bt handsfree device: works ??? !!! 

TEST CONCLUSION: 
If you create a BT connect profile (will make a bug in tasker) you can delete it and pair and connect a different BT device to remove the bug.

Scene bug:
Create a scene.
Put a button on it.
On Tap add a 'Music play dir'
Go back to  tasks
Create a task with show scene
Run it
When you press the button in the scene only one song will play.

When I manually run 'music play dir' in tasker everything works fine.
No fix for this yet, hope for update.

Sims 3 corrupt game fix

  • To fix the load game issues
    Use "Save" the first time you create your household.
    Then NEVER EVER use "Save". Use "Save as". (Yes you must delete some old savegames but the games loads a lot faster next time)
    When you exit sims 3 and the game asks you: Save game? PRESS NO!!! (Use "SAVE AS" before you exit)
    When you change city and the game asks you: Save city? PRESS NO (or continue without save)!!! (Use "SAVE AS" after)
    NEVER EVER click "Save". Only use "SAVE AS".

The Sims 3 freezes fix


  • The Sims 3 freezes when playing. Especially when you play Isla Paradiso.
    Why you ask. Well simulation is the answer.

    All households who are around you need to be stimulated. You say to your Sim to cook. But the computer must simulate all computer played Sims households around you to do things.
  • Computer do your sims stuff: takes 100 milliseconds.
    Computer do Scott family (4 sims) stuff: takes 4*100 milliseconds.
    Computer do Mark family (4 sims) stuff: takes 4*100 milliseconds.
    ... On Isla Paradiso are about 20 (4 sims) families living on the island that must be simulated. 20*4*100=8000 milliseconds. THATS 8 SECONDS.
  • The solution. Go to "Change city" and wrecks (move out) all families in the city. Let shops and other facilities remain. You will still be visited by Sims even if no one else but you live in the city.
